It is an unintended side effect then, alas. The checkout -b command
above automatically sets up the tmp branch to pull from branch topic
in remote my-git-remote, just as if I had written
git checkout --track tmp my-git-remote/topic

This is another part of the story I missed before. If I understand
correctly, each branch has some (git or svn) remote it normally pushes
to and the immediate cause of all our troubles is that the user's
fingers keep forgetting which remote to use on each branch.
You'll probably like the svn remote helper which provides native
svn:// support in git once it is a little more usable.

Good catch, yes. It wasn't a great example.
If there are some secrets I want to protect myself from accidentally
pushing to the svn repo, a pre-dcommit hook could help me.

Thanks very much.
git-svn does not currently implement any hooks, so whoever does this
will be a pioneer. :) The only perl script in git currently
implementing hooks is git-cvsserver, but since the hook API is very
simple (just run $GIT_DIR/hooks/<hook name> with appropriate
arguments) hopefully it would not be too fussy.
Thanks again for some food for thought.
