I'd guess this may be because the references are all under remotes/,
and git usually doesn't push stuff under remotes.
You could adjust the refspec for the push,  to map that to a path
on github w/o 'remotes' in the path name.

How about the master vs trunk issue?  AFAICR svn uses 'trunk' as the
default mainline branch,  whereas for git the default is 'master'.

Should 'trunk' be pushed instead of 'master', or is 'master' already mapped to 
'trunk'?
