You can use "-T trunk -t 'tags/*/*'" and then set up the branches config
by hand:

git config svn-remote.svn.branches
'django/branches/features/*:refs/remotes/svn/features/*'

git config --add svn-remote.svn.branches
'django/branches/releases/*:refs/remotes/svn/releases/*'

In fact, you should be able to use your previous branches config when
fetching up to r9093, then switch to the config I suggested, and the
fetch from r9094.

Cheers,
Michael
