Migrate an svn repo to git - Where did all the branches got? and tags?

All,

I have a subversion repository with the usual structure

svn-repo
  |
  +-branches
      +-release1
      +-release2
  +-tags
      +-r1dev
      +-r1test
      +-r2dev
      +-r2test
  +-trunk

that I want to migrate to git.

I cloned the svn repo with

   git svn clone --no-metadata -t tags -b branches -T trunk <repo-url>

I used the example in the Pro Git book.

the cloned repo has files 

  git-repo/.git/refs/heads/master
  git-repo/.git/refs/remotes/trunk

directory

  git-repo/.git/refs/tags

is empty.

Directories git-repo/.git/logs/... have files corresponding to the branches and tags, but they do not appear to reference git objects.

There are unhandled.log.gz files in the .git/svn directory for each branch and tag.

If I do a 

	git branch -r

the branches and tags show up as remote branches.
gitk appears to show all of the commits, but I do not see any of the branches and tags.

I would like to make the branches and tags to appear al local to git repo.

Is there a way to do this?
