+--log-window-size=<n>;;
+    Fetch <n> log entries per request when scanning Subversion history.
+    The default is 100. For very large Subversion repositories, larger
+    values may be needed for 'clone'/'fetch' to complete in reasonable
+    time. But overly large values may lead to request timeouts.

 'clone'::
 	Runs 'init' and 'fetch'.  It will automatically create a
 	directory based on the basename of the URL passed to it;
