Well, you *could* use "-T trunk" to import the first part, ^C when it
starts complaining about 'head', duplicate the last line of .git/svn2gi=
t
(incrementing the SVN change number), and continue with "-T head".

That hackery sortof depends on Upstream not changing anything *else* wh=

renaming 'trunk' to 'head' ...

Of course, the second possibility is to allow patterns as prefixes, dro=

the distinction of "trunk" and "branch", and store the refs as full
paths under .git/refs/heads/**. You're welcome to submit a patch; pleas=

don't forget backwards compatibility for those poor souls who need to d=

incremental imports. ;-)
