Just to clear up that bit as well. when the "fetch" finishes (which is part of the clone process), git-svn checks if there is a master branch, and if not, it creates one from the last commit it created. So if your last svn commit was to branch XYZ and not to trunk, master will reference that commit on branch XYZ. Björn
