Starting afresh with -T/-t/-b is transversing the branches and tags once, rather that over and over starting from r1.

Here is the starting afresh config:

--------------------------
[svn-remote "svn"]
	url = svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source
	fetch = trunk/mono:refs/remotes/trunk
	branches = branches/*/mono/:refs/remotes/*
	tags = tags/*/mono/:refs/remotes/tags/*
--------------------------

Here is my attempt at contiuation/changing my mind after getting at trunk only:
--------------------------
[svn-remote "svn"]
#	url = svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/mono
#	fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn
  url = svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source
  tags = tags/*/mono:refs/remotes/mono/tags/*
  branches = branches/*/mono:refs/remotes/mono/branches/*
  trunk = trunk/mono:refs/remotes/git-svn
-------------------------
the tags, branches, url entries are effectively the same, I think - so
the main difference is using trunk instead of fetch.
Why does it make any difference? The example at the bottom of
git-svn's man page uses the trunk notation. Maybe it should be
changed?
