Cannot setup tracking information; starting point ... is not a branch

Version: svn2git (2.2.2)

After running for about five hours (it's a large repository), I ran into this error at the end of the conversion process. The repository is a standard layout. I've tried to resume the process by running it with the --rebase flag, but it looks like I can't get around this one.

$ svn2git --rebase --verbose
Running command: git status --porcelain --untracked-files=no
Running command: git branch -l --no-color
* master
Running command: git branch -r --no-color
...trimmed...
Running command: git svn fetch
Running command: git branch --track "adwords_v201206" "remotes/svn/adwords_v201206"
fatal: Cannot setup tracking information; starting point 'remotes/svn/adwords_v201206' is not a branch.
command failed:
2>&1 git branch --track "adwords_v201206" "remotes/svn/adwords_v201206"

Confirming that downgrading git to 1.8.3.1 works around the issue.

you need to drop '--track' from migration.rb

downgrading git to 1.8.3.1 wasn't an option. But removing the --track option from migration.rb helped...
