It looks like the svn branches were pushed to refs/remotes/svn/branchname
not refs/heads/svn/branchname, which is probably why github and clone
doesn't find them. You're not supposed to push remote-tracking branches,
only local ones. If you use full push syntax it should work though: `git
push origin refs/remotes/svn/nci:refs/heads/svn/nci`
Also realize that branches can contain slashes... a branch named "svn/nci"
is not the same thing as a remote-tracking branch named
"nci" on a remote named "svn". The command above pushes the remote-tracking
"nci" on remote "svn" and pushes it to a branch named "svn/nci" on the
remote named "origin".
