clean-git barfs on SVN repos without branches

clean-git barfs after a recent git svn clone (following https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/migrating-convert):

$ cd /storage/GitMigration/git
$ java -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 -jar ../svn-migration-scripts.jar clean-git
Could not retrieve the config for the key: svn-remote.svn.branches
$ cat .git/config
[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = file:///storage/svn
        fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn
[svn]
        authorsfile = /storage/GitMigration/authors.txt

Hmmmm... nothing looks extremely wrong here. The svn repo doesn't use the standard layout, but it also doesn't have branches. The command used to do the git svn clone was:

$ cd /storage/GitMigration
$ git svn clone --authors-file=authors.txt file:///storage/svn git

This is on Fedora 20, using:

java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.65-2.5.2.5.fc20.x86_64
git-1.9.3-1.fc20.x86_64
git-svn-1.9.3-1.fc20.x86_64
subversion-1.8.10-1.fc20.x86_64

Any ideas how to run clean-git (eg to process tags), without it erroring-out on the lack of branches?
