I did some additional hacking and may have found a slightly cleaner
way of at least fixing the problems with "git svn fetch". The problem
with the wrong paths being initialized for branches and tags is fairly
minor (since you can just edit the config by hand), so I'll probably
address that later, if I have time. Here's the patch (I hope I'm
doing this right):
diff --git a/git-svn.perl b/git-svn.perl
index 959eb52..174f266 100755
--- a/git-svn.perl
