I have a bunch of commits applied to SVN repository, now I need to move them to git repository. I was thinking of applying the commits one by one using patches, but those patches use relative path that differs in both repositories, e.g. /trunk/project/src/main/java/... in svn and /project/src/main/java/... in git is there a way to create patches that have relative path to src/main, not trunk/project/src....

I wanted to add this as a comment but I do not have 50 reputation points, oh well. I believe the answer to your question can be found here:
How to migrate SVN repository with history to a new Git repository?

git svn doesn't work for me, it fails with some nasty errors: /usr/lib/perl/.... So I figured this issue the following way using IntelliJ IDEA:
- apply patches one by one
- in apply patch window I changed the folder hierarchy for each file in the initial commit
- changed the folder to the git folder.
But this approach is time-consuming

I would suggest to try solving the *perl* error. Probably could be something easily to solve. And will let you to play with the *Power of Git* ;) – Kamafeather Aug 27 '14 at 13:13

I've already solved my issue, hope these explanations would help someone else. If I had 1000+ commits I would have digged into those perl errors, in current implementation git svn doesn't seem a reasonable approach to me. – user2508615 Aug 27 '14 at 13:52
