There is a fairly detailed explanation on how to do a pretty good SVN import that explains how to convert the branches properly here:

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v1/Git-and-Other-Systems-Migrating-to-Git

The short answer is to run this:

$ cp -Rf .git/refs/remotes/* .git/refs/heads/
$ rm -Rf .git/refs/remotes

Hope that's helpful.
