Re: git-svn: both merged commits and original commits are showing up in branches after migration

I'm getting ready to switch over to Git entirely and wanted to make
sure this was expected behavior. It appears to be based on the
presence of the "Merge" property but I'm still not exactly sure why
the original commit would show up in the branch history.

I asked the same question on StackOverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3229024/git-commits-to-master-branch-showing-up-in-other-branches.

I've done a migration using "git-svn init" and "git-svn fetch". After
the migration, I did a "git log refs/remotes/svn/6.7" and found that
it listed both the commits that I merged into the 6.7 branch and the
original commits to the trunk/master even though the SVN history
obviously only has what was merged into that branch. Any idea why the
Git branch has both (see below)? I did notice that the merged commits
seem to have extra metadata in the "Merge" property.

Results of "git log /path/to/6.7":
