These are my branches and I am concerned, these contain quite some work. 
I think that adding some more strutcture as I did by adding my branches 
to an own directory is in general not a bad thing, so if this could be 
made to work with the git mirror somehow easily, this would be the 
easiest way for now.
The alternative would be to somehow 'move' these branches, e.g.

branches/alg/aw080 -> branches/alg_aw080
branches/alg/sysdepgs -> branches/alg_sysdepgs

If it is intended to have a flat hierarchy in the branches subdirectory 
I will try to do so and I am open to suggestions how to do that without 
immense new amounts of commits and similar stuff. I currently see no 
easy way to do this with svn, but maybe some experts could help with 
suggestions here.

Thanks for the git clone!
Looking forward to suggestions..
