Just to clear up that bit as well. when the "fetch" finishes (which is
part of the clone process), git-svn checks if there is a master branch,
and if not, it creates one from the last commit it created. So if your
last svn commit was to branch XYZ and not to trunk, master will
reference that commit on branch XYZ.
