Any suggestions?

git-svn is a specialized tool for Git users to interact with Git repositories. It works by providing a Git frontend to an SVN backend.

GitHub repositories can be accessed from both Git and Subversion (SVN) clients.

After searching last night, I have finally found the answer:

It seems that you have to actually go in and manually edit the .git/config file in order to add an svn branch to an existing git repo. So according to these instructions I would have to add an entry for each branch.
