+--localtime;;
+ Store Git commit times in the local timezone instead of UTC. This
+ makes 'git-log' (even without --date=local) show the same times
+ that `svn log` would in the local timezone.
+
+This doesn't interfere with interoperating with the Subversion
+repository you cloned from, but if you wish for your local Git
+repository to be able to interoperate with someone else's local Git
+repository, either don't use this option or you should both use it in
+the same local timezone.
+
+--ignore-paths=<regex>;;
+ This allows one to specify Perl regular expression that will
+ cause skipping of all matching paths from checkout from SVN.
+ Examples:
+
+ --ignore-paths="^doc" - skip "doc*" directory for every fetch.
+
+ --ignore-paths="^[^/]+/(?:branches|tags)" - skip "branches"
+ and "tags" of first level directories.
+
+ Regular expression is not persistent, you should specify
+ it every time when fetching.

'clone'::
