What are all attempts? Did you try only git-svn, or did you try tools like  
svn2git?

If you haven't tried anything other than git-svn, try svneverever &  
svn2git[1] for an actual repository conversion. Or have a look at the  
newest kid on the block called SubGit[2][3]. In both I don't have any  
experience, but of svn2git I know Qt and KDE have used it successfully to  
convert their repositories.

I assume both are somewhat more complex to use and set up than to simply  
use git-svn, but I guess it will be worth the effort.

Good luck,
Frans
