hm, this seem to be not-working for me.

after "git svn init -s url" i edited the config:

$ cat .git/config
[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = svn+ssh://vmiklos@svn.gnome.org/svn/ooo-build
        fetch = trunk:refs/master
        branches = branches/*:refs/*
        tags = tags/*:refs/tags/*

and wanted to fetch the revisions, but actually

$ git svn fetch

does not fetch any revisions. (yes, it does once i put back the "remotes" prefix). is this a bug? :)

thanks,
