Re: git-svn: both merged commits and original commits are showing up in branches after migration

[Bradley Wagner <bradley.wagner@hannonhill.com>]

I'm getting ready to switch over to Git entirely and wanted to make
sure this was expected behavior. It appears to be based on the
presence of the "Merge" property but I'm still not exactly sure why
the original commit would show up in the branch history.

I asked the same question on StackOverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3229024/git-commits-to-master-branch-showing-up-in-other-branches.
