git-svn pulling down duplicate revisions

I started a git-svn clone on a large svn repository, and I noticed that for various branches, it kept pulling down the exact same revisions (starting at r1). In other words, if I had 4 branches that shared common history, their common history all got pulled down 4 times. I double-checked, and the created commit objects were identical.

Why was git-svn pulling down the same revisions over and over, when it already knows it has a commit object for those revisions?
