The problem turned out to be due to the way the git mirror handles SVN branches. In particular, the git mirror doesn't seem to delete branches that were deleted in SVN. Consider this<https://github.com/apache/mesos/tree/0.10.0> branch, which does not exist in SVN<http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/mesos/branches>. The consequence of this is people who were using git would get bizarre histories when they checked out a branch. It appears as though the git mirror does some sort of weird merge when a deleted SVN branch is recreated.
