Well, you *could* use "-T trunk" to import the first part, ^C when it starts complaining about 'head', duplicate the last line of .git/svn2git (incrementing the SVN change number), and continue with "-T head".

That hackery sortof depends on Upstream not changing anything *else* while renaming 'trunk' to 'head' ...

Of course, the second possibility is to allow patterns as prefixes, drop the distinction of "trunk" and "branch", and store the refs as full paths under .git/refs/heads/**. You're welcome to submit a patch; please don't forget backwards compatibility for those poor souls who need to do incremental imports. ;-)
