Sorry about that... I'm confused.

Svn log shows that the same path has been modified in both cases. I see
something strange in git, though. Our svn repository has about 6500
commits, but git shows over 10.000. Further investigation shows that a
lot of svn commits have two entries in git. Some branches off of trunk
do not start at r1, but off of a duplicate rNNNN. Could this be due to
our unhealthy practice of creating branches off of subtrees in svn? By
this I mean create a branch off of
https://server/trunk/some_folder/project/src instead of
https://server/trunk. If so, what can be done to fix this?
As a sidenote, during git svn clone, I noticed that each time a new
branch or tag was discovered, the "scanning" started back at r1. Is this
normal? I would think the history before the branch was already
imported. Of course, this could maybe be due to the bad branching
practice described above.
Regards,
Knut
