title: Unable to convert svn repository (without trunk) to git
body: <p>I'm trying to convert my svn repo to git, but I'm not having much success.
  The repository in question does not have anything like a "trunk".
  The layout is the following:</p>
  
  <pre>
  /home/svn/
        |--- /project1/
        |--- /project2/
        |--- /repos/project3/
  </pre>
  
  <p>And underneath those project folders are the files. No trunk, no branches, no nothing special. At the time that was all I needed, and now it's biting me in the ass.</p>
  
  <p>I'm following this guide: <a href="http://john.albin.net/git/convert-subversion-to-git">http://john.albin.net/git/convert-subversion-to-git</a></p>
  
  <p>When I run this command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git svn clone svn+ssh://skerit@host.com/home/svn/repos/kiflea --no-metadata -A authors-transform.txt --stdlayout ~/kiflea
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It says it has created an empty git repository... But I don't really want it to be empty.</p>
  
  <p>I also have no idea what the following commands should look like, since my repository has a different layout.</p>
  
  <p>Commands like <code>git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/trunk</code> or <code>git config remote.bare.push 'refs/remotes/*:refs/heads/*'</code></p>
