My belief is that > such support is intended and his is that it is accidental. It's true that the documentation is not as clear about this as one might like. Documentation/git-svn.txt leaves it to the reader to infer that this is supported by analogy with "fetch =" lines in native git [remote] sections: 'git svn' stores [svn-remote] configuration information in the repository .git/config file. It is similar the core git [remote] sections except 'fetch' keys do not accept glob arguments; but they are instead handled by the 'branches' and 'tags' keys. The change description for the patch that introduced that functionality is more helpful. $ git log -S'Could not find a \"svn-remote.*.fetch\" key' git-svn.perl commit 706587fc Author: Eric Wong <normalperson@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jan 18 17:50:01 2007 -0800 git-svn: add support for metadata in .git/config 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: [example using multiple 'fetch' keys snipped] Perhaps such an example would be useful for the git-svn(1) manpage, too. Any ideas for where to add such a note, and how it should be worded? (Of course, if you can phrase such an idea in patch form, that would be the most convenient.)
