Hi,

Thanks for your email, but Björn Steinbrink on IRC solved my problem.
For the record what I did is:
1) make a new "git svn clone -t tags -b branches -T trunk <url>"
2) copy/past the description of the "svn" remote in .git/config from the
new clone into my old repository. Just replaced, in right part of the
fetch line, "trunk" by "git-svn"
3) "git svn fetch" imported all branches correctly based on the commits
I already have.

Thanks to all git and git-svn developers to make my life easier!

Xavier Claessens.
