That's one way, and the only way to fix this on the Subversion side. However, p4convert-svn claims to be able to do incremental imports. See: ftp://ftp.perforce.com/private/outgoing/p4convert-svn-README.txt
The relevent section reads:
PERFORMING AN INCREMENTAL IMPORT
--------------------------------
Incremental conversion is when you take a contiguous block of changes
from Svn to Perforce. The block must not include changes that you
have already converted. If you skip any changes in Svn, you can't
go back and get them if you've converted any later changes.
For instance, you might initially go from 1 -> HEAD, then after some
continuing use of the Svn repository, convert from the old HEAD
was to the new HEAD. Here's an example with actual numbers:
run 1: 1 -> 100
2: 101 -> 145
3: 146 -> 209
The corresponding commands might look like this:
p4convert-svn file:///conv/svn_root svn ../helper.xml 1 100
p4convert-svn file:///conv/svn_root svn ../helper.xml 101 145
p4convert-svn file:///conv/svn_root svn ../helper.xml 146 209
When starting the conversion again, you'll see "Searching, skipping rev X"
for each Svn revision that you already converted. This is normal.
So, you may be able to skip the commit with the bad path (from Perforce's point of view).
(and which seems to have been committed in error in the first place, from the log).
