specified, the prefix must include a trailing slash.
Setting a prefix is useful if you wish to track multiple
projects that share a common repository.
+--ignore-paths=<regex>;;
+ When passed to 'init' or 'clone' this regular expression will
+ be preserved as a config key. See 'fetch' for a description
+ of '--ignore-paths'.
'fetch'::
Fetch unfetched revisions from the Subversion remote we are
.git/config file may be specified as an optional command-line
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.
+
+--parent;;
+ Fetch only from the SVN parent of the current HEAD.
+
+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 a Perl regular expression that will
+ cause skipping of all matching paths from checkout from SVN.
+ The '--ignore-paths' option should match for every 'fetch'
+ (including automatic fetches due to 'clone', 'dcommit',
+ 'rebase', etc) on a given repository.
+
+config key: svn-remote.<name>.ignore-paths
+
+ If the ignore-paths config key is set and the command
+ line option is also given, both regular expressions
+ will be used.
+
+Examples:
+
+ --ignore-paths="^doc" - skip "doc*" directory for every
+ fetch.
+
+ --ignore-paths="^[^/]+/(?:branches|tags)" - skip
+ "branches" and "tags" of first level directories.
+
'clone'::
Runs 'init' and 'fetch'. It will automatically create a
directory based on the basename of the URL passed to it;
reused if a user is later given access to an alternate transport
method (e.g. `svn+ssh://` or `https://`) for commit.
+config key: svn-remote.<name>.commiturl
+
+config key: svn.commiturl (overwrites all svn-remote.<name>.commiturl options)
+
Using this option for any other purpose (don't ask)
is very strongly discouraged.

--repack[=<n>]::
--repack-flags=<flags>::
the repository with a public http:// or svn:// URL in the
metadata so users of it will see the public URL.
+svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround::
+This disables potentially expensive checks to workaround broken symlinks
+checked into SVN by broken clients. Set this option to "false" if you
+track a SVN repository with many empty blobs that are not symlinks.
+This option may be changed while "git-svn" is running and take effect on
+the next revision fetched. If unset, git-svn assumes this option to be
+"true".

If you use `git svn set-tree A..B` to commit several diffs and you do
not have the latest remotes/git-svn merged into my-branch, you should
use `git svn rebase` to update your work branch instead of `git pull` or
-`git merge`. `pull`/`merge' can cause non-linear history to be flattened
+`git merge`. `pull`/`merge` can cause non-linear history to be flattened
when committing into SVN, which can lead to merge commits reversing
previous commits in SVN.
