Otherwise, do not enable this flag unless you know what you're
doing.
---no-stop-on-copy::
- Only used with the 'fetch' command.
-
- By default, git-svn passes --stop-on-copy to avoid dealing with
- the copied/renamed branch directory problem entirely. A
- copied/renamed branch is the result of a <SVN_URL> being created
- in the past from a different source. These are problematic to
- deal with even when working purely with svn if you work inside
- subdirectories.
-
- Do not use this flag unless you know exactly what you're getting
- yourself into. You have been warned.

+Basic Examples
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tracking and contributing to an Subversion managed-project:
git-svn fetch 375=$(git-rev-parse HEAD)
+Advanced Example: Tracking a Reorganized Repository
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+If you're tracking a directory that has moved, or otherwise been
+branched or tagged off of another directory in the repository and you
+care about the full history of the project, then you can read this
+section.
+
+This is how Yann Dirson tracked the trunk of the ufoai directory when
+the /trunk directory of his repository was moved to /ufoai/trunk and
+he needed to continue tracking /ufoai/trunk where /trunk left off.
+
+ # This log message shows when the repository was reorganized::
+ r166 | ydirson | 2006-03-02 01:36:55 +0100 (Thu, 02 Mar 2006) | 1 line
+ Changed paths:
+ D /trunk
+ A /ufoai/trunk (from /trunk:165)
+
+ # First we start tracking the old revisions::
+ GIT_SVN_ID=git-oldsvn git-svn init \
+ https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/trunk
+ GIT_SVN_ID=git-oldsvn git-svn fetch -r1:165
+
+ # And now, we continue tracking the new revisions::
+ GIT_SVN_ID=git-newsvn git-svn init \
+ https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/trunk
+ GIT_SVN_ID=git-newsvn git-svn fetch \
+ 166=`git-rev-parse refs/remotes/git-oldsvn`
