+-I <ignorefile_name>::
+       Import the svn:ignore directory property to files with this

+-R <repack_each_revs>::
+       Specify how often git repository should be repacked.
++
+The default value is 1000. git-svnimport will do import in chunks of 1000
+revisions, after each chunk git repository will be repacked. To disable
+this behavior specify some big value here which is mote than number of
+revisions to import.
+
+-P <path_from_trunk>::
+       Partial import of the SVN tree.
++
+By default, the whole tree on the SVN trunk (/trunk) is imported.
+'-P my/proj' will import starting only from '/trunk/my/proj'.
+This option is useful when you want to import one project from a
+svn repo which hosts multiple projects under the same trunk.
