I'm sorry if this has been brought up before, I did look through the archive and didn't see it.

I am working with a repo that has about 7000 commits and about 100 branches/tags. I've been using git-svn for about 4 months now and love it. The problem I'm experiencing is that everytime a new branch is added, git svn fetch seems to download the entire history all the way from r1. Is this the expected behavior? If so, why is that? Don't we already have the old revisions from trunk and other branches?
