Don't see a new branch after creation

I have created a new branch and went with a browser to check if it was created but I don't see it.

$ git svn branch -n -m "Students line" student_line --destination branches
Copying https://<my_site>/svn at r294 to https://<my_site>/svn/branches/student_line...

Note that the -n switch is a synonym for --dry-run:

-n
--dry-run

This can be used with the dcommit, rebase, branch and tag commands.

For dcommit, print out the series of git arguments that would show which diffs would be committed to SVN.

For rebase, display the local branch associated with the upstream svn repository associated with the current branch and the URL of svn repository that will be fetched from.

For branch and tag, display the urls that will be used for copying when creating the branch or tag.

Remove the -n and do it for real.

In general, to sync with Subversion, make sure you have a clean branch, and then update git’s view by running two commands:

$ git svn fetch
$ git svn rebase
