I've actually just edited .git/config and then did git svn init URL. Found this easier for complex layouts, cause then you can control everything that is happening.

[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = http://mingw-w64.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mingw-w64
        fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/trunk
        branches = {experimental,web}:refs/remotes/*
        tags = branches/releases/*:refs/remotes/releases/*
        fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn
