'clone'::
Runs 'init' and 'fetch'. It will automatically create a
'rebase'::
This fetches revisions from the SVN parent of the current HEAD
and rebases the current (uncommitted to SVN) work against it.
-
++
This works similarly to `svn update` or 'git pull' except that
it preserves linear history with 'git rebase' instead of
'git merge' for ease of dcommitting with 'git svn'.
-
++
This accepts all options that 'git svn fetch' and 'git rebase'
accept. However, '--fetch-all' only fetches from the current
[svn-remote], and not all [svn-remote] definitions.
-
++
Like 'git rebase'; this requires that the working tree be clean
and have no uncommitted changes.

This allows revision ranges for partial/cauterized history
to be supported. $NUMBER, $NUMBER1:$NUMBER2 (numeric ranges),
$NUMBER:HEAD, and BASE:$NUMBER are all supported.
-
++
This can allow you to make partial mirrors when running fetch;
but is generally not recommended because history will be skipped
and lost.

Read a list of commits from stdin and commit them in reverse

Remove directories from the SVN tree if there are no files left
behind. SVN can version empty directories, and they are not
removed by default if there are no files left in them. git
cannot version empty directories. Enabling this flag will make
the commit to SVN act like git.

creating the branch or tag.

++
If you lose your .git/svn/git-svn/.rev_db file, 'git svn' will not
be able to rebuild it and you won't be able to fetch again,
either. This is fine for one-shot imports.
-
++
The 'git svn log' command will not work on repositories using
this, either. Using this conflicts with the 'useSvmProps'
option for (hopefully) obvious reasons.
svn.useSvmProps::
svn-remote.<name>.useSvmProps::
-

-mirrors created using SVN::Mirror (or svk) for metadata.

++
If an SVN revision has a property, "svm:headrev", it is likely
that the revision was created by SVN::Mirror (also used by SVK).
The property contains a repository UUID and a revision. We want
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".
