Ok, this seems to be a PEBKAC: In the history of the subversion repository, 
f.e. I once copied the "branches" root folder to tags/xyz. One revision later 
I noticed this and retagged the correct branch. git-svn imports all branches
from the first tag, which is the correct thing to do :o)

Now I'll manually check the history of the tags/ and branches/ folder
for more funny tags and write down the revision. If I understood
the git-svn man page correctly, I should be able to specifiy
revision ranges it's going to import. I'll try to skip the broken tags.

Cheers,
Thomas
