Ah, didn't actually look at the pictures :) Hmm, one other case where
svn2git has problems are re-created tags in svn. That is if the whole
svn-dir that was tagged is being deleted and re-created. However I'm not
sure wether that really results in the seen behaviour, my last
non-trivial conversion is too long ago (kdevelop had that).
