Heh, I was confused. foo.git is usually a bare repo, if the repo has a
working directory as well, then just call it foo.
And then: if you convert an svn repo to a git one, don't you want to
convert it to a bare repo?
I haven't tried git-svn clone but the following will work for sure:
git --bare init
git --bare svn init -s URL
git --bare svn fetch

If you remove the svn dir, why don't you remove refs/remotes as well?
(Probably via update-ref since git svn will pack refs before it ends for
big repos, I think.)
Also I think it would be a good idea to give a hint how to do
incremental updates. Something like not deleting the svn dir and using
git --bare svn fetch; git fetch.
PS: I'm not a git-svn contributor or anything, just thought I give you
some advices, I hope it helped. :-)
