You can do that, but it's tricky to get right on a continuous basis
compared to a one-shot conversion.

When I was tracking CPAN.pm subversion in git during the switchover,
the process was more or less like this:

    * Use git-svn to clone a subversion repository into local git repository A
    * Push 'remote' subversion branches from local git repository A to
ordinary branches in local git repository B
    * Convert 'tag/*' branches in repository B to regular git tags
    * Push repository B to a public git repository C
    * Automate updates in a cron job

I was going to write it up in more detail, but never finished.  I also
have heard that svn2git on github might do some of this extra
manipulation for you but haven't used it myself.
