I'm sorry, but we have this (multiple branch/tag lines) since 1.6.4, see 6224406 (git svn: Support multiple branch and tag paths in the svn repository., 2009-06-23) The skip directive may be obsoleted by 0757620 (git-svn: allow subset of branches/tags to be specified in glob spec, 2010-01-23) Cheers, Michael
