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

If I do a

the branches and tags show up as remote branches.

That's how git-svn currently works.

To turn all remote branches into local branches you can use the
following trick (don't do this in any repo other than a fresh git-svn
clone unless you understand what it does!):

  git fetch . 'refs/remotes/*:refs/heads/*'

To further clean up history and turn svn tagging commits into real
tags, you can refer, e.g., to the last section of
