I am kind of with Justin in that I have two separate git-svn clones. One for
trunk and another for 2.7.x.
Setting up git-svn to work with the svn branches was too difficult for
geotools; not because of the large projects; but because we have hand edited
our svn repository over time and there are gaps in the record now.
I would be interested in hearing about your experience.
