I'm struggling to understand how to be able to clone a git repository from Subversion, and then clone that repository to another machine (git-to-git) and still have access to all the original Subversion branches and tags. Here's what I've done, and where I'm running into roadblocks.

First, on machine A, I cloned my Subversion repository into a git repository:

```
[machine A]$ git svn clone -s http://svn.repo.url/MyProject

```

That gave me a git repository with the entire history and all the branches and tags of my original Subversion repository:

```
[machine A]$ git branch -r
* master
  remotes/v1
  remotes/v1.1
  remotes/v1.2
  remotes/test_migration
  remotes/tags/20100104
  remotes/tags/20100308
  remotes/trunk

```

Now, on machine B, I want to clone that git repository, and still have access to all the original Subversion branches and tags. First, I cloned the repository:

```
[machine B]$ git clone machine.a:git/MyProject

```

This got me a clone of the git repository... but I don't see any of the remote branches or tags:

```
[machine B]$ git branch -a
* master
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/master

```

No matter what form of `git checkout --track -b [branch] origin/[branch]` I try, I can't get a branch created on machine B that tracks one of the remote, originally-from-svn branches... nor does a `git svn fetch`, `git svn pull`, or anything else I can try pull in the remote branches and tags from the repository on machine A. what am I doing wrong?
