Untar the archive somewhere, and then use git-svn to create a git repository from it.

I.e.

cd /tmp
tar xvzf repo.tar.gz

cd /home/me
git-svn clone file:///tmp/repo

If it's a standard svn layout, you can import the branches with

cd /home/me
git-svn clone -stdlayout file:///tmp/repo

If you created the archive to enable yourself to create a git repo from it - it might be easier to just point at your existing svn repository.
