I'm using the binary from google code on my mac os-x leopard machine,
and it doesn't have git svn branch.  How can I work around this
issue?  Is there anyway to create a branch on the svn repository using
git?

I don't know which version google code has, but git-svn is a perl script
which you can download directly from

http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git?a=blob_plain;f=git-svn.perl;hb=HEAD

Note that in git-svn.perl as downloaded you will have to adjust the
first few lines (maybe a uselib in the second line; @@GIT_VERSION@@) to
match what you have in your current git-svn. If your git is not too
ancient then current git-svn should work with it.

Actually, I think compiling yourself is easier...
