Currently Gemini management uses SVN repository. We want to migrate to git. Therefore we need a new Git repository for the project.

I've created /gitroot/gemini.managment for you.  You will need to login to git.eclipse.org and init the repo with the following command: initrepo /gitroot/gemini.management/org.eclipse.gemini.managment.git

When trying to execute the command on git.eclipse.org I get disconnected. There is a message that shell access is only available on build.eclipse.org. 
Given this, how can I init the repo? Also, is there a way to keep the history from the svn repo when migrated to the git repo, or I should use git svn without initializing the git repo?

You can run the provided init repo command even with the restricted shell.  After that you shoudl be able to use git svn to create a local git repo, make any changes needed(authors etc) and then push that repo back to us.
