A typical config
[svn-remote "svn"]
        noMetadata = 1
        url = http://repository.url/svn
        fetch = trunk/etl_app:refs/remotes/etl_app/trunk
        branches = branches/etl_app/*:refs/remotes/branches/*
        tags = tags/etl_app/*:refs/remotes/tags/*
However, the manpage for git-config(1) does not include anything exlicit on "url", "fetch", "branches", 'tags", and the meaning of the syntax following the colon. 
Where can I find this info?

Is the info in here what you're looking for? http://jk.gs/git-svn.html

RE: Documentation for fetch, url, branches, tags keywords in git config?

I've already read that manpage.  It does not describe the meaning of "fetch", "branches" and "tags", and the significance of the ":refs/remotes/branches/*" syntax.
