https, and plain svn), specify the username. For other

--prefix=<prefix>;;
This allows one to specify a prefix which is prepended
to the names of remotes if trunk/branches/tags are
(refs/remotes/$remote/*). Setting a prefix is also useful
if you wish to track multiple projects that share a common
repository.
+ By default, the prefix is set to 'origin/'.
+
-NOTE: In Git v2.0, the default prefix will CHANGE from "" (no prefix)
-to "origin/". This is done to put SVN-tracking refs at
-"refs/remotes/origin/*" instead of "refs/remotes/*", and make them
-more compatible with how Git's own remote-tracking refs are organized
-(i.e. refs/remotes/$remote/*). You can enjoy the same benefits today,
-by using the --prefix option.
+NOTE: Before Git v2.0, the default prefix was "" (no prefix). This

+incompatible with how Git's own remote-tracking refs are organized.
+If you still want the old default, you can get it by passing
+`--prefix ""` on the command line (`--prefix=""` may not work if
