The commit message is probably too long, and needs to be line-wrapped.

Perhaps something like:
---------------------------8<---------------------------
Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: branch: avoid systematic prompt for cert/pass

Commands such as "git svn init/fetch/dcommit" do not prompt for client certificate/password if they are stored in SVN config file. Make "git svn branch" consistent with the other commands, as SVN::Client is capable of building its own authentication baton from information in the SVN config directory.

I can push the above with my Signed-off-by if you are happy with it. Thanks again!
