+--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.
