title: git-svn: how do I create a new svn branch via git?
body: <p>I have a git repository which tracks an svn repository. I cloned it using <code>--stdlayout</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I created a new local branch via <code>git checkout -b foobar</code></p>
  
  <p>Now I want this branch to end up in <code>…/branches/foobar</code> in the svn repository.</p>
  
  <p>How do I go about that?</p>
