So, I tried to clone the repository with this command:

git svn clone -T trunk -t tags/6.x -b branches/6.x <svn_url>/<proj_name>

After it completed, I went it to the .git/config file and added a few more branches/tags from other locations:

[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = https://<svn_url>/<proj_name>
        fetch = <proj_name>/trunk:refs/remotes/trunk
        branches = <proj_name>/branches/{6.x,5.x}/*:refs/remotes/*
        branches = <proj_name>/branches/*:refs/remotes/*
        tags = <proj_name>/tags/{3.7.x,4.x,5.x,6.x,old-releases}/*:refs/remotes/tags/*

Is my syntax even correct? Can I have more than one "branches" property? How do I tell git-svn to re-sync with the latest branch/tag locations?

Thanks!
