type of configuration is not automatically created by 'init' and
should be manually entered with a text-editor or using 'git config'.
+It is also possible to fetch a subset of branches or tags by using a
+comma-separated list of names within braces. For example:
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+[svn-remote "huge-project"]
+ url = http://server.org/svn
+ fetch = trunk/src:refs/remotes/trunk
+ branches = branches/{red,green}/src:refs/remotes/branches/*
+ tags = tags/{1.0,2.0}/src:refs/remotes/tags/*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Note that git-svn keeps track of the highest revision in which a branch
+or tag has appeared. If the subset of branches or tags is changed after
+fetching, then .git/svn/.metadata must be manually edited to remove (or
+reset) branches-maxRev and/or tags-maxRev as appropriate.
