From eff714bddafd3d49cde0eac6ae670970da024fb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Gray Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:23:50 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: multiple fetch/branches/tags keys are supported "git svn" can be configured to use multiple fetch, branches, and tags refspecs by passing multiple --branches or --tags options at init time or editing the configuration file later, which can be handy when working with messy Subversion repositories. Add a note to the configuration section documenting how this works.
