Turns out that in their infinite wisdom, the repo gods laid out the
structure like this:
/trunk
/Source
[THECODE]
/SomethingElse
/SomeOtherStuff
/branches
/BRANCH-1
[THECODE]
/...
The problem was I had trunk set to /trunk and not /trunk/Source. This
was a bad mistake. Since I have fixed it git-svn is quite a bit faster!
