title: Git-svn: create & push a new branch/tag?
body: <p>After cloning an SVN repository using git-svn with the <code>-s</code> option (<code>git svn clone http://server/repo -s</code>), how does one create a branch or tag and have pushed to the relevant branch/tag directory in the repository when <code>dcommit</code>ing?</p>
  
  <p>For instance; if I were to use git to create a <code>foobar</code> branch locally (<code>git checkout -b foobar</code>) how can I have git-svn <strong>create</strong> the branch on the server (<code>http://server/repo/branches/foobar</code>)?</p>
  
  <p><strong>I'm using Git 1.5.5.6.</strong></p>

  <p><strong>Please Note:</strong></p>
  
  <p>The accepted method below <strong>does not work with Git 1.5.5.6</strong> as there is no <code>git svn branch</code> method. I'm still looking for a solution to this that doesn't involve resolving to working with svn directly.</p>
