I have a local git-copy of the company svn-repository. The git-copy is up-to-date (git svn fetch). I then add a new branch in the svn-repository (svn cp http://.../trunk http://...branches/JIRA-4444). When I then do 'git svn fetch' again, it pulls all the files from the svn-repository. I was expecting it to only pull the fact that a new branch was made (taking milliseconds), not all the files in the branch (taking more than half an hour to complete). Why does it need to transfer all the files? I did have problems getting the original svn-repository. It took several days and stopped several times in the process. Each time it stopped, I just issued 'git svn fetch' again and it seemed to continue. Could this be related? How could I make a better copy?
