There's an SVN project I'm trying to track with git-svn. "git svn fetch" fetches and imports the commits perfectly, but I can't figure out a way to merge upstream commits into my branch automatically.

It seems like the right solution should be:
[remote "origin"]
	importer = svn
	url = svn://ixion.tartarus.org/main
	fetch = puzzles:refs/remotes/puzzles
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = puzzles

Which would mean that it would use "git svn fetch" instead of "git fetch" for that remote, and "git svn fetch" would use that config section instead of its current config section.

Any reason this couldn't be made to work?
