PPS: Ok - 1 second of thinking - of course it means, that this commit
belongs to 43 branches and I forgot the "-r" in "git branch --contains".
So all commits belong to branch.
But there are still SVN-Revions with up to 4 commits.

I checked the SVN logs of such revisons and it indeed seems to be the case, that these revisions update multiple branches. The number of touched branches per SVN commit still doesn't match the number of git-commits for this SVN revision, but it at least partially explains the high number of git commits compared to the svn revision count.
