I'm cloning an svn repository which contains 10+ branches and a lot of tags.

looks like git-svn fetches branch by branch, and for each branch it
fetches all revisions, the problem I observed from its stdout is,  if
the branches contain common revisions between them, then those common
revisions will be fetched once for each branch, so if 10 branches all
have a certain revision, then this revision will be fetch 10 times, in
my understanding such revision should be fetched only once, right?
