That's correct.  gitk (which is a separate program) operates on the
local cache, it knows nothing about svn or cvs (at least the one
distributed with git 1.5.x didn't, I haven't looked at the code since
then).

That should work (but I believe git-svn does this automatically on any
access to the svn repo).

That doesn't.  One wants "$vcs visualize-dag --all" to automatically
pick up all branches the "$vcs-svn" is aware of.
