I'd not used git-svn before so I spent some time with it today,
unfortunately without much success.

I started with a simple example: the TicketSidebarProviderPlugin [1].
 I tried the following on my computer:

   git svn clone -s https://trac-hacks.org/svn/ticketsidebarproviderplugin ticketsidebarproviderplugin.git
   
However, after this command completed I don't have a working
repository.

   git branch -a

shows no branches at all.

   git svn rebase

results in the following:

   fatal: bad revision 'HEAD'
   rev-list --first-parent --pretty=medium HEAD --: command returned error: 128
   
Any tips on how to create a Git repository from a Trac Hack Plugin in
their svn repository?

TIA,
