It does work.  Use:

git-svn init -t projectA/tags -b projectA/branches \
   -T trunk/projectA http://svn.host.com/
git fetch

Also you can expect the import results of each branch to be the same
regardless of whether you import all at once using a command like the
above, or import a single path without passing -t / -b / -T to git svn init.

If you have a lot of projects to mine from a single repository, use
svnsync or SVN::Mirror/svk and then import from the local repository
with --use-svm-props.

Sam.
