```
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?

```

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.
