I know two options:

1. Keep your current Git repo but set the url and rewriteroot options 
in .git/config:

[svn-remote "svn"]
	url = http://...
	rewriteroot = file:///...

Your commit messages will still have git-svn-id pointing at file:///... 
url but it should work fine.


2. Convert your repo again:

$ mkdir repo ; cd repo
$ git svn init --rewrite-root=http://... file:///...
$ git svn fetch

This way you'll create new Git repo from file:///... url but commit 
messages will have git-svn-id's url pointing at http://... . After that 
set the correct remote url to .git/config:

[svn-remote "svn"]
	url = http://...
