Create a tag by using the tags_subdir instead of the branches_subdir
specified during git svn init.
--d;;
---destination;;
+-d<path>;;
+--destination=<path>;;
+
If more than one --branches (or --tags) option was given to the 'init'
or 'clone' command, you must provide the location of the branch (or
- tag) you wish to create in the SVN repository. The value of this
- option must match one of the paths specified by a --branches (or
- --tags) option. You can see these paths with the commands
+ tag) you wish to create in the SVN repository. <path> specifies which
+ path to use to create the branch or tag and should match the pattern
+ on the left-hand side of one of the configured branches or tags
+ refspecs. You can see these refspecs with the commands
+
git config --get-all svn-remote.<name>.branches
git config --get-all svn-remote.<name>.tags
git config --get-all svn-remote.<name>.commiturl
+
+--parents;;
+ Create parent folders. This parameter is equivalent to the parameter
+ --parents on svn cp commands and is useful for non-standard repository
+ layouts.

'tag'::
Create a tag in the SVN repository. This is a shorthand for
'branch -t'.
tags = tags/{1.0,2.0}/src:refs/remotes/tags/*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Multiple fetch, branches, and tags keys are supported:
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+[svn-remote "messy-repo"]
+ url = http://server.org/svn
+ fetch = trunk/project-a:refs/remotes/project-a/trunk
+ fetch = branches/demos/june-project-a-demo:refs/remotes/project-a/demos/june-demo
+ branches = branches/server/*:refs/remotes/project-a/branches/*
+ branches = branches/demos/2011/*:refs/remotes/project-a/2011-demos/*
+ tags = tags/server/*:refs/remotes/project-a/tags/*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Creating a branch in such a configuration requires disambiguating which
+location to use using the -d or --destination flag:
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+$ git svn branch -d branches/server release-2-3-0
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
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
