Cloning a Non-Standard Svn Repository with Git-Svn

by

Lee B was right. The answer, provided by doener in #git, is to upgrade Git to 1.6.x (I had been using 1.5.x). 1.6.x offers deep cloning so that multiple wildcards can be used with the --branches option:

$ git svn clone https://svn.myrepos.com/myproject web-self-serve \ 
          --trunk=trunk --branches=branches/*/* --prefix=svn/
$ git branch -r
  svn/development/sandbox1
  svn/development/feature1
  svn/development/sandbox2
  svn/development/sandbox3
  svn/development/model-associations
  svn/maintenance/version1.0.0
  svn/trunk

Exactly what I needed. Thanks for the insight, all.
