Hi Andreas,
I don't know to throw previous history either. What about this
repo: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-med/mothur.git/ ?
I keep old history inside svn-debian and svn-upstream branches.

I did more or less the same thing as the script does (followind Alioth/git wiki).
I imported the repo and git-svn created two branches (with debian directory and
upstream sources). I renamed the tags to "svn/...". Then I pulled my work.

The histories are separate, but I can think of rebasing my work on top
of these two branches. I even tried, but failed a bit.
