I already tried this some days ago, but wasn't sure about the result. The
resulting history looks exactly what I expected, but all the commits are on
master after executing this commands and svnbranch only contains the
original two commits (svn-commit creating the root directory and the
cherry-picked commit from master)

Does the current branch matter if I call git-rebase with the
<branch>-argument?
