I've said I don't like branches in Subversion, and I still don't.
This is a bit more flexible, though, as the argument for -b is any
arbitrary git head/tag reference.
This makes some things easier:
* Importing git history into a brand new SVN branch.
* Tracking multiple SVN branches via GIT_SVN_ID, even from multiple
repositories.
* Adding tags from SVN (still need to use GIT_SVN_ID, though).
* Even merge tracking is supported, if and only the heads end up with
100% equivalent tree objects. This is more stricter but more robust
and foolproof than parsing commit messages, imho.
