git-svn multi-init https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd -T trunk -t tags -b branches git-svn multi-fetch
In the latest git-svn (should be in 1.4.3), you can re-run 'git-svn multi-init' with no arguments to discover new tags+branches.
Anybody willing to supply patches for better documentation? I'll be quite busy with other projects the next two weeks, asciidoc is quite slow for me; but I'd like to have better docs for git-svn in 1.4.3.
