Re: git-svn pulling down duplicate revisions

I started a git-svn clone on a large svn repository, and I noticed

revisions (starting at r1). In other words, if I had 4 branches that  
shared common history, their common history all got pulled down 4  
times. I double-checked, and the created commit objects were identical.

Why was git-svn pulling down the same revisions over and over, when it  
already knows it has a commit object for those revisions?

Can you give me an example if a repository and command-line you used
that does this?   Did you use 'git svn clone -s' or did you manually
specify the branch locations in the repo?

It could even be a lack of read permissions to the repository root
that would cause things like this.

Thanks,
