[user] git-svn and svn cp

I hope this is the correct mailing list. If not please point me in the right direction.

I played a little with git (1.5.3.4 / debian) and had the following observation: Doing a "svn cp" (for example for a tag) results in a large traffic when doing a "git-svn fetch" afterwards.

To verify I did: git-svn clone -s svn://www.ogersoft.at/ogerlit git-svn fetch svn cp svn://... svn://... (one file ca 3mb) svk checkout (a tcpflow output of about 3k - plaintext commands, I think a svn checkout would be the same) git-svn fetch (a tcpflow output of 700k - containing a textdelta of nearly 700k)

So the question remains: Does svn-git dont know about lightweight svn copies? or can svn-git not handle them correct by now? or did I something wrong?
