I'm trying out a rather large subversion import, and am trying to figure out if there is a way to delete branches during a fast-import.

Right now I can think of only 2 ways to handle this:

1) End the import, do a git branch -D and then resume the import.

2) Scan the entire repository history, identify
deleted branches and handle them upfront so that they never have
conflicting names.

Is there a better way?
