argument.
+--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'::
Runs 'init' and 'fetch'. It will automatically create a
directory based on the basename of the URL passed to it;
This works similarly to `svn update` or 'git-pull' except that
it preserves linear history with 'git-rebase' instead of
-'git-merge' for ease of dcommiting with 'git-svn'.
+'git-merge' for ease of dcommitting with 'git-svn'.
This accepts all options that 'git-svn fetch' and 'git-rebase'
accept. However, '--fetch-all' only fetches from the current
git remote add origin server:/pub/project
git config --add remote.origin.fetch '+refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/*'
git fetch
+# Create a local branch from one of the branches just fetched
+ git checkout -b master FETCH_HEAD
# Initialize git-svn locally (be sure to use the same URL and -T/-b/-t options as were used on server)
git svn init http://svn.example.com/project
# Pull the latest changes from Subversion
