How do I tell git-svn about a remote branch created after I fetched the repo?

Question

I'm using git-svn to work against my company's central svn repository. We've recently created a new feature branch in the central repo. How do I tell git about it? When I run git branch -r I can only see the branches that existed when I ran fetch against the svn repo to initialize my git repo?

Answer 1

It appears I just needed to git svn fetch; somehow I had convinced myself that would fetch the entire repo instead of just the changes.

Answer 2

You can manually add the remote branch,

git config --add svn-remote.newbranch.url https://svn/path_to_newbranch/
git config --add svn-remote.newbranch.fetch :refs/remotes/newbranch
git svn fetch newbranch [-r<rev>]
git checkout -b local-newbranch -t newbranch
git svn rebase newbranch
