Your friendly man page provider says:
-r <ARG>, --revision <ARG>
Used with the fetch command.
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.
Usage of "Scroll Down" is strongly advised when viewing git help svn ;)

P.S.: It works nicely, don't mind the warning in the man page if you
know the start rev for sure.
