Yes, this should work. As long as you started out with a fairly
recent git (sorry, I don't know how recent is needed) you should have
in your repository a git/config file containing something like:
[svn-remote "svn"]
url = http://main.svn.url.com/
fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/git-svn
fetch = branches/b1:refs/remotes/b1 <-- this line added by you
Then a 'git svn fetch' should pull it all down and you can checkout
the branch using 'git checkout -b myb1 remotes/b1'. At this point,
'git svn rebase' is smart enough to know where the branch comes from.
What may not work when you add branches in this way is that the
history may not connect with the actual branch commit in svn. I'm
fairly sure there is some way to fix that, but I haven't done it.
