This is intentional, please see
https://github.com/freebsd/svn2git/blob/1a0b3e0230e1b2430e5d8eb91ac99aeff5a1614d/src/svn.cpp#L883

Only projects and user branches are represented as merges to master, as
they usually have a full tree. This seemed to match the git model better
(as opposed to the SVN model).

Not sure whether we really want to handle these "code drops" as proper git
merge commits. I fear what that might do to the history ...
