You're right, I didn't think of that. While pondering this I came up with another problem: git-svn currently remembers which svn-branch a commit belongs to by including this information in the git commit log message. This way it is not possible to have one git-commit appear in more than one svn branch. Maybe it's better to store this git-commit->svn-branch mapping somewhere else. Although it's probably even better to completely switch to git :)
