git-svn clone -s fails to setup branches in git if the most recent svn commit was not to trunk

git-svn clone -s fails to setup branches in git if the most recent svn commit was not to trunk

[Adam Soltys]

I ran the following command to clone from an svn repository that followed the
standard svn folder layout and had two branches:

svn clone -s svn://path/to/my_repo

I then typed:

git branch -r

Which returned:

origin/HEAD
origin/master

I was expecting to see the branches and tags from the svn /branches and /tags
folders but they did not appear.  

I checked out origin/HEAD and origin/master to see what was there and I found
they contained code from a subversion branch that was originally in the
/branches folder.  I noticed that this particular branch was the last place
committed to in the svn repo.  So I checked something into the /trunk of the svn
repo, nuked the git repo, and ran the git svn clone command again.  This time it
worked as expected and "git branch -r" showed me all my tags and branches.
