This is exactly right.

I think the trouble with branches is the lockdown of the root repository
directory.  I tried something like this but it breaks due to the
restrictions:

git svn init --stdlayout https://<user>@llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm \
  --ignore-paths="^.*(Apple|PowerPC.*|SVA|eh-experimental|ggreif|non-call-eh|parallel|release_.*|vector_llvm|wendling|May2007|checker|cremebrulee|start|RELEASE_1.*|RELEASE_2[0-7])"

Obviously, replace <user> with whatever it needs to be to allow dcommit
to work.

Ideally we'd have clang and llvm-gcc git mirrors as well via the
--prefix argument to git-svn init, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
:)

It appears that there's not much those of us who would like git branches
for svn release tags can do without help from the server side.
