I would like to git svn clone subprojects from a large community
subversion repository (plone collective).

The repository is currently at 74K commits, but subprojects of interest
are typically much more recent, and their initial import revision is known.

I would like to avoid a) unnecessary traffic to the svn server and b)
the very long delay in git svn cloning these subprojects.

Is there a way to specfiy a starting revision to git svn clone?

Thanks.
