I want to clone a SVN tree into a git repo using git-svn. I'd like to make a complete clone, including tags and branches, but I hit a problem with the tags organization.

the SVN tags folder looks like this:

```
tags/
|-- Backup
|   |-- 20080212
|   `-- 20080217
|-- V4.0.1
|-- V4.0.2
`-- V4.0.3

```

I know about `git svn clone -T trunk -b branches -t tags/Backup -t tags` with twice the `-t` option, but this is not entirely satisfying:

```
$ git branch -r
  tags/20080212
  tags/20080217
  tags/Backup
  tags/V4.0.1
  tags/V4.0.2
  tags/V4.0.3
  trunk

```

As you can see, all the tags are here, but one is too much: the **Backup** tag is actually not a tag but a folder containing tags. The problem is that it creates an orphan branch which duplicate the content of all the backup branches.

The question is: How do I make git-svn ignore the backup folder but know about the backup subfolders as tags, keeping the classical tags available?

And as a bonus: how to automatically name the Backup tags as `Backup/20080217` instead of `20080217`?

Thanks!
