How to git-svn clone the last n revisions from a Subversion repository?

I am trying to move my WordPress Plugins which are hosted in the massive WordPress Plugins repo to Git.

I tired using git-svn and it is taking too long (more than 4-5 hours for a single Plugin) and I have close to 20 Plugins to migrate.

I have the checked out SVN repo on my machine. Is there any way by which we can import the SVN repo into Git by just using the history information stored in the .svn folders without connecting to the SVN server?

    You don’t have the SVN repo on your machine. You have a working copy.

    Unlike Git, SVN doesn’t download the entire repository, with the whole history, when checking out a working copy. It just downloads the latest versions of the files.

    So no, it’s impossible to get the history of an SVN project from a working copy.
