Answer 1

I have migrated 2 svn repos to git (git version 1.7.0.4) following Scott's recipe, a smaller one and a larger one. The smaller one behaved as described by Scott in the book chapter. The larger one required David's solution. Another thing is that

$ git push origin --all

did not push any tags and instead I had to do this:

$ git push origin --all
$ git push origin --tags

This may not be obvious from the flag --all and from the book chapter and I realized this after I have deleted the local git svn repo.
