Create an svn tag from an existing git tag

Question

I am trying to create a proper SVN tag from an annotated git tag. I presumed that what I have to do is :

• checkout the tag -> done
• git svn branch -tm "version x"

Calling the branch command results in the following error message :

Unknown option: t
Unknown option: m

git-svn - bidirectional operations between a single Subversion tree and git
Usage: git svn <command> [options] [arguments]

Available commands:
  blame            Show what revision and author last modified each line of a file
                     --git-format
  clone            Initialize and fetch revisions
                     --add-author-from
  ...

surprisingly, neither branch nor tag commands are listed among the available commands. Calling git svn branch results in the same help page, without the "Unknown option" part. I have no idea what is going wrong and how to fix it.

I am using git 1.6.0.2, git-svn 1.6.0.2 with svn 1.6.13

Unfortunately I don't have the rights to update and to check whether it's a version-related issue

Thank you

Have discovered here, that the branch command was introduced to git-svn in version 1.6.1. So it is a version issue.
