[PATCH 0/2] git-svn: add support for prefixed globs in config

There are existing old SVN repos which use patterns in branch (and tag) names to indicate some information. For example: branches/release_01, branches/release_02, etc, however non-patterned branches co-exist with them (like branches/dev).

If someone maintains git mirror of such a repo it is reasonable to mirror only several branches (for example those who match some pattern) and in current situation it leads to messy and error-prone git config like:

branches = branches/{release_20,release_21,release_22,...

It would be useful to have an opportunity to write

branches = branches/release_*

instead of this.

Thus I suggest to add support for such 'prefixed' globs into git-svn.

Victor Leschuk (2):
  Introduce prefixed globs for branches and tags in git-svn.
  Add test for git-svn prefixed globs.
