So am I not supposed to add those manually?  Also, I manually changed
some of the fetch/pull entries to change them from, e.g.:

     fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
to:
     fetch = +refs/remotes/svn/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

Okay.  I did that in the first repo but couldn't "git pull", as you say,
even though the error says that I should.

Yes, otherwise the initial clone wouldn't have worked ;)

Yes, however the repo is not empty.  It's a clone from github.  I did:

- clone from github into a bare repo
- set up that bare repo in gitolite
- clone from gitolite into a new (git-svn) repo
- set up git svn in that git-svn repo
- try to run git-svn-mirror in the git-svn repo
- get error
