git-svn cheatsheet

Clone a repo with selected branches + git worktree layout

Create the directory for git worktrees:
```
 mkdir repo_name
 cd repo_name
```

Init a repo:

 git svn init https://path/to/svn/repo_name --username=<username> --trunk=branches/main_branch main_branch

Edit repo_name/main_branch/.git/config so that it contains something like:

[svn-remote "svn"]
  url = "https://path/to/svn/repo_name"
  fetch = "branches/main_branch:refs/remotes/svn/main_branch"

Add more fetch keys to fetch more branches

Inspect the SVN log to find a first revision:

 svn log https://path/to/svn/repo_name -l <max-depth>

Fetch that revision:
```
 git svn fetch -r<revision>
```
Fetch all newer revisions:
```
 git svn fetch
```

Re-create the git-svn history from an older revision

Delete .git/refs/remotes/svn.
Delete .git/svn
Run git svn fetch -r<revision>.
Run git svn fetch.
Rebase local branches.
