-NOTE: In Git v2.0, the default prefix will CHANGE from "" (no prefix)

When using multiple --branches or --tags, 'git svn' does not automatically
handle name collisions (for example, if two branches from different paths have
the same name, or if a branch and a tag have the same name). In these cases,
