OPTIONS
-------
-i::
Import-only: don't perform a checkout after importing. This option

+ ensures the working directory and index remain untouched and will
not create them if they do not exist.
-t <trunk_subdir>::
Name the SVN trunk. Default "trunk".
-

-T <tag_subdir>::
Name the SVN subdirectory for tags. Default "tags".
-
+
-b <branch_subdir>::
Name the SVN subdirectory for branches. Default "branches".
-
+
-o <branch-for-HEAD>::
The 'trunk' branch from SVN is imported to the 'origin' branch within
the git repository. Use this option if you want to import into a
different branch.
--m::
+-m::
Attempt to detect merges based on the commit message. This option
- will enable default regexes that try to capture the name source
- branch name from the commit message.

+ You must escape forward slashes.
--l <max_num_changes>::
- Limit the number of SVN changesets we pull before quitting.
- This option is necessary because the SVN library has serious memory
- leaks; the recommended value for nontrivial imports is 100.
+-l <max_rev>::
+ Specify a maximum revision number to pull.
- git-svnimport will still exit with a zero exit code. You can check
- the size of the file ".git/svn2git" to determine whether to call
- the importer again.
+ Formerly, this option controlled how many revisions to pull, due to
+ SVN memory leaks. (These have been worked around.)
-v::
Verbosity: let 'svnimport' report what it is doing.
