try this python script https://bitbucket.org/nytmyn/gitsvnext/overview

to checkout svn externals run following in your git repository

python /../gitsvnext/run update

run this to know what to put to .git/info/exclude

python /../gitsvnext/run list

Here's what I've done.

First I created an empty SVN repo (for the same root as the git):

svn checkout --depth empty http://path/to/repo .

This created empty svn repo in the git root. The point is that is contains the SVN externals properties.

Next I simply check only the externals (I placed in PATH cygwin tools):

svn propget svn:externals | sed -e 's/ / .\//' | sed -e 's/\'//g' | xargs -L1 svn co
