When tracking multiple directories (using --stdlayout,
--branches, or --tags options), git svn will attempt to connect
repository. This default allows better tracking of history if
entire projects are moved within a repository, but may cause
issues on repositories where read access restrictions are in

accept URLs as-is without attempting to connect to a higher
level directory. This option is off by default when only
one URL/branch is tracked (it would do little good).

+ Similar to Git's `remote.<name>.pushurl`, this key is designed
to be used in cases where 'url' points to an SVN repository

transport. It is assumed that both keys point to the same
Git commit to serve as parent. This will happen, among other reasons,
if the SVN branch is a copy of a revision that was not fetched by 'git
svn' (e.g. because it is an old revision that was skipped with
-'--revision'), or if in SVN a directory was copied that is not tracked

by 'git svn' (such as a branch that is not tracked at all, or a
subdirectory of a tracked branch). In these cases, 'git svn' will still
create a Git branch, but instead of using an existing Git commit as the
copy of a complete repository, for projects with many branches it will
lead to a working copy many times larger than just the trunk. Thus for
