Geert,

Yes, the tag branches are probably packed references from your original git svn import. You can look in your backup/.git/packed-refs (a text file) to make sure.

I don't think that git-svn even knows how to delete branches from the svn repo, but you could delete one, then try git svn dcommit -n (dry run) to make sure it doesn't try to do something dumb.
