I feel that I am not really qualified here, since I am a strict git-svn 
_user_, but AFAICT it worked here all the time, _especially_ with fast 
forwards.  The trick is that all commits that were added after the branch 
point do _not_ contain any svn lines.

But then, I do not use svn branches here, and that might be the problem?

Ciao,
