I've found a work-around. I'm surprised it works, but it evidently
does, so...
If you do the `git svn init` without the `-T` argument, then set up the
branches to fetch explicitly using `git config`, everything seems to
work fine:
$ git svn init svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/squirrelmail/code
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/add/tmp/.git/
$ git config svn-remote.svn.fetch trunk:refs/remotes/origin/trunk
$ git svn fetch
r1 = 12dc820c417dc5f12723307a3fcfa4629ea972fb (refs/remotes/origin/trunk)
A squirrelmail/ATHORS
A squirrelmail/login.php3
A squirrelmail/signout.php3
