svn records the rename as a copy+delete (it also sets some rename 
info
which git-svn seems to ignore). So, git-svn stays on the safe side by
keeping the branch. Note that deleting the branch would possibly 
delete
at least some info since the branch name is not recorded in the 
commit
(if you use svn.noMetadata).

You can safely delete the branch if you're sure its head commit is
contained in some other branch (as will be for an ordinary rename).

 thank you for your explanation. I suspected that this issue might be a 
 mixture of different VCS-philosophy and uncertainty-handling.
 Okay, then I will delete the branch manually. Of course I would have 
 preferred to have an automatic solution, because I got attention on this 
 renaming by accident. I hope renaming a branch will not become a new 
 trend in repository actions.
