I'm cloning an svn repository which contains 10+ branches and a lot of tags.

looks like git-svn fetches branch by branch, and for each branch it fetches all revisions, the problem I observed from its stdout is, if the branches contain common revisions between them, then those common revisions will be fetched once for each branch, so if 10 branches all have a certain revision, then this revision will be fetch 10 times, in my understanding such revision should be fetched only once, right?
