Usually it is easy to import a subversion repository into git. You just do this:

mkdir my_project
cd my_project
git svn init svn://repo.url/goes/here
git svn fetch

This will always fetch the repository you specified, but sometimes in svn your project actually depends on multiple repositories (ie: you use external references). The external reference will not be fetched and you will have to manually add it in somehow.

Did you really think it would be that easy?
