title: Configure subgit for a single directory inside the SVN
body: <p>I am trying to set up <code>subgit</code> for a huge SVN repository. This repository is very old, so to tidy up the structure a little, I want to make seperate git-repositories for various subdirectories.</p>
  
  <p>Suppose the SVN is at <code>/svn</code> and has the subdirectories <code>project1</code>, <code>project2</code>, etc.</p>
  
  <p>This works</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ subgit configure --svn-url file:///svn/ git.git
  $ subgit install git.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This also works, but creates an empty repository</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ subgit configure --svn-url file:///svn/project1/ /tmp/project1.git
  $ subgit install /tmp/project1.git

  <p>In the SVN there are actually files inside <code>project1</code>. Why doesn't it work with subgit and how can I fix it?</p>
