I don't think there's a way to do this.  You can create branches in
git that *aren't* tracked in svn, of course, if you want to do that.

And creating branches in svn is a single command, even if you don't
have an svn checkout:

   svn cp $SVN/trunk $SVN/branches/whatever

So it seems unnecessary to duplicate this feature in git.

Have fun,
