I used the recipe in http://patrickbougie.com/2013/03/18/convert-svn-to-git-repository/ recently and it did the trick.

In general, though, I prefer changing the build to refer to external dependencies, rather than include the source code at the right point. If you're using Maven, then Maven modules are designed for just that.
