Local SVN repository to git

I am in the need of converting a local SVN repository to GIT. I know how to convert a remote SVN repository to git, however, I only have the local repositories; they are no longer hosted. How would I go about converting a local SVN repo to git?

What I tried was this:

git svn clone -s file://data/svn/repo/ /data/git/repo.git

Error was:

E: 'trunk' is not a complete URL and a separate URL is not specified

• Figured it out...

  I needed an extra / after file:// so that it started at the root of the filesystem. Darn it!

  Final command worked:

  git svn clone -s file:///data/svn/repo/ /data/git/repo.git

  David Zaslavsky : +1 I have experienced the annoyance of that missing slash several times myself.
