It's not a silver bullet and I had to do a lot of manual work afterwards
but I combined several SVN repositories using this tool:

  http://search.cpan.org/~book/Git-FastExport-0.07/script/git-stitch-repo

It allowed me to keep the SVN history as Git history and also let me
change the paths.

Like I said, it wasn't perfect, I had to do a lot of manual work
afterwards, and it was probably error-prone.  But it got me most of the
way there :)

HTH,
