pushing specific branches to a public mirror repos

Hi,

I cloned a SubVersion repository and am maintaining a Git mirror of it 
on GitHub. Here is an example of some of the SubVersion branches that 
got cloned.

refs/remotes/cleanroom
refs/remotes/fixes_2_0
refs/remotes/fixes_2_2
refs/remotes/fixes_2_2_0_dos
refs/remotes/florian
refs/remotes/fpc_2_3
refs/remotes/generics
refs/remotes/genfunc
refs/remotes/trunk
...

By default 'git svn' created a "master" branch which tracks 
"remotes/trunk". This is currently the only branch available on GitHub 
mirror repository and I push it as follows:

On our server which manages the subversion -> local git repos -> github 
sync process.

  $ cd /path/to/repository/
  $ git svn fetch
  $ git push github master

This works fine. Now I don't have any other local branches or any local 
modifications (I used to have, but reverted all of them) so now a 'git 
svn fetch' does clean fast-forward merges without problems.

I currently have the following git config setting for the remote github 
repository:

[remote "github"]
	url = git@github.com:graemeg/freepascal.git
	push = +refs/remotes/*:refs/heads/*

As far as I understand, if I do 'git push github', it is going to push 
all the SubVersion branches (as listed above) as heads to GitHub - but 
this is not what I want. Many of those branches in SubVersion are old, 
outdated or private development areas.

I only want to push the "trunk" and "fixes_2_2" SubVersion branches to 
GitHub as heads. How must I change by remote.github.push config setting, 
or must I do a manual push as I do with the local tracking "master" branch.

In summary:
  * Can I change remote.github.push so that if I run 'git push github'
    that it will ONLY push remotes/trunk and remotes/fixes_2_2 to
    GitHub mirror

  * or must I manually push those two to GitHub mirror as follows
     once off create a tracking branch:
       $ git branch --track fixes_2_2 remotes/fixes_2_2

     then hourly do the following:
       $ cd /path/to/repository/
       $ git svn fetch
       $ git push github master
       $ git push github fixes_2_2
