I've figured out why the tags aren't what I wanted, though I don't
think they're incorrect, just slightly different to what Git does. In
terms of Svn it kinda makes sense. Let's take a look at the
sympa-6.2-branch (and figure out where sympa-6.2a-10 is):

Branch sympa-6.2-branch: [snip] ... r7176 --> r7177 --> r7179 -->
r7180 ... [snip]

r7176 : [-feature]Committing updated catalogues from Pootle
r7177 : [-release]Preparing version 6.2a.10
r7179 : [bug]Fixed bug introduced in revision 7045 : variable name was
sympa_piddir instead...
r7180 : [-change]remove warning at processes startup
"Conf::_set_listmasters_entry(): Default...

So where is r7178 you may ask. Well, that's actually the tag which
looks like it was added as a separate branch

r7176 : [-feature]Committing updated catalogues from Pootle
r7177 : [-release]Preparing version 6.2a.10
r7178 : [-release]Tagging version 6.2a.10 sympa-6.2a-10

ie. both r7178 and r7179 are separate branches which have r7177 as their 
parent.

The 'git svn' command sees Svn's branches and tags as branches (and
who can blame it). It seems this is a known issue and I'm looking at
some scripts so that the tags will turn into proper annotated tags in
Git.

Let me know if you'd like any help with Git or even to just play
around. Once I fix up these tags I'll be a lot happier with the repo,
so I'll probably blow it away and re-do it sometime this week and I'll
post when it looks a bit nicer. Note that this tags issue seems to be
the only one I'm fighting, the rest of the repo looks fine to me. :)
I'd be happy to hear any comments. :)

Cheers,
Andy
