I was thinking to do that programatically.  i.e.

git config --unset svn-remote.svn.branches
for f in `svn ls svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches|egrep -v 
'^(ARM|apple|csl|dead|gcj|ibm|ix86|redhat|suse|ubuntu)/'`; do
  f=${f%/}
  git config --get-all svn-remote.svn.fetch |
    fgrep "branches/$f:" > /dev/null ||
    git config --add svn-remote.svn.fetch branches/$f:refs/remotes/$f
done
for d in ARM apple csl dead gcj ibm ix86 redhat suse ubuntu; do
  for f in `svn ls svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/$d`; do
    f=$d/${f%/}
    git config --get-all svn-remote.svn.fetch |
      fgrep "branches/$f:" > /dev/null ||
      git config --add svn-remote.svn.fetch branches/$f:refs/remotes/$f
  done
done

I'm not sure it's possible in general to tell whether a particular 
directory in SVN is a branch or not.
