Olaf,

Here is the big difference between the basic gitorious mirror and
mine.  For the gitorious mirror, after a fresh clone I have:

$ git branch
* master
$ git branch -r
  origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  origin/master
$ git tag

With my process, what you pull after cloning my repository is:
$ git branch
* trunk
$ git branch -r
  origin/2.5-dev
  origin/HEAD -> origin/trunk
  origin/bugfix-2-0
  origin/bugfix-2-1
  origin/bugfix-2-2
  origin/bugfix-2-3
  origin/bugfix-2-4
  origin/bugfix-2-5
  origin/bugfix-2-6
  origin/bugfix-2-7
  origin/trunk
$ git tag
rel-1-7
rel-1-7-alpha1
rel-1-7-alpha3
rel-1-7-alpha4
rel-1-7-beta1
rel-1-7-beta2
rel-1-7-rc1
rel-2-0
rel-2-0-1
rel-2-0-alpha1
rel-2-0-alpha2
rel-2-0-alpha3
rel-2-0-beta1
rel-2-0-beta2
rel-2-0-beta3
rel-2-0-rc1
rel-2-1
rel-2-1-beta1
rel-2-1-rc1
rel-2-2
rel-2-2-beta1
rel-2-2-rc1
rel-2-3
rel-2-3-1
rel-2-3-2
rel-2-3-3
rel-2-3-beta1
rel-2-3-rc1
rel-2-4
rel-2-4-beta1
rel-2-4-rc1
rel-2-5
rel-2-5-beta1
rel-2-5-rc1
rel-2-6
rel-2-6-beta1
rel-2-6-beta2
rel-2-6-rc1
rel-2-6-rc2
rel-2-7
rel-2-7-1
rel-2-7-2
rel-2-7-beta1
rel-2-7-rc1

As you can see, pulling the clone and then pushing to a repository
with the method I elaborated will give us all of our branches and tags
that we currently have in SVN, preserved for our use in git.  The only
real difference is, since I made these conversions and pushed it to my
own repository, all the tags have my information like so:
$ git show rel-1-7
tag rel-1-7
Tagger: Greg Hellings <greg.hellings at gmail.com>
Date:   Thu Aug 5 23:21:20 2010 +0000

"rel-1-7"

commit f92bfb2463c1aaaa8775095e2265b8709a1f6465
Author: mgruner <mgruner at ba6c7691-6512-0410-bf18-b6da21b6447f>
Date:   Sat Feb 7 09:37:22 2009 +0000

instead of Martin or Joachim.  However Martin is still listed as the
person who made the commit.  If he were to follow my process, all the
tags would be his (and he could give a more verbose tag annotation
like "converted to git tag during SVN import" or so if he wanted) AND
he could push the resulting repository to gitorious or github or
wherever we end up hosting.  That way, not only is the commit/revision
history maintained, but all our tags and branches are maintained.
