Hi,
I was wondering why the master branch was hardcoded to be updated in
post_fetch_checkout() in git-svn. Why not allow to use another branch ?

It shouldn't update master if it the branch already exists and is a
valid ref.
The default for git-clone is to create "master", too, so I wanted
git-svn clone behavior to be the same.

git-svn fetch is not only invoqued at cloning time...
My problem is that I (purposely) removed the master branch, so git-svn fetch
is creating it again every time I run to update the svn branch...

Ah. The old usage was: git-svn init && git-svn fetch; so it'll create
a master branch each time. You can use --no-checkout with fetch to
avoid this behavior.
