Heya,

This makes a lot of sense. What about a use case like git-svn supports
currently, where you want to indicate "use the default
trunk/branches/tags setup"? Yes, you could do `git clone -c defaults
svn://example.com` and then git-remote-svn can set the relevant config
options itself. The only downside is that git-remote-svn then needs to
unset 'defaults' and set the appropriate values itself (to avoid
cluttering the config file). Thoughts?
