--minimize will update the git-svn configuration to attempt to
connect to the repository root (instead of directly to the
path(s) we are tracking) in order to allow more efficient reuse
of connections (for multi-fetch and follow-parent).

Of course, we handle metadata migrations from previous versions
and we have added unit tests.
The new .git/config remotes resemble non-SVN remotes. Below
is an example with comments:
[svn-remote "git-svn"]
; like non-svn remotes, we have one URL per-remote
url = http://foo.bar.org/svn
; 'fetch' keys are done in the same way as non-svn
; remotes, too. With the left-hand-side of the ':'
; being the remote (SVN) repository path relative to the
; above 'url' key; and the right-hand-side being a
; remote ref in git (refs/remotes/*).
; An empty left-hand-side means that it will fetch
; the entire contents of the 'url' key.
; old-style (migrated from previous versions of git-svn)
; are like this:
fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn
; this is created by a current version of git-svn
; using the multi-init command with an explicit
; url (specified above). This allows multi-init
; to reuse SVN::Ra connections.
fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/trunk
fetch = branches/a:refs/remotes/a
fetch = branches/b:refs/remotes/b
fetch = tags/0.1:refs/remotes/tags/0.1
fetch = tags/0.2:refs/remotes/tags/0.2
fetch = tags/0.3:refs/remotes/tags/0.3
[svn-remote "alt"]
; this is another old-style remote migrated over
; to the new config format
url = http://foo.bar.org/alt
fetch = :refs/remotes/alt
