The thing about it being .git/refs/heads/svn/xyzzy is that then you can do git checkout svn/xyzzy and start modifying it. Which is exactly against the point: the thing is _not_ a branch and you must _not_ commit to it. It's much more like a tag: it's a pointer to the last point of an svn-import. So I think it should either _be_ a tag (although Dscho worries about some broken porcelain being confused by tags changing) or it should be in a namespace all it's own. Not under .git/refs/heads/ at any point, because it is _not_ a head of development.
