-Unfetched SVN revisions may be imported as children of existing commits
-by specifying additional arguments to 'fetch'.  Additional parents may
-optionally be specified in the form of sha1 hex sums at the
-command-line.  Unfetched SVN revisions may also be tied to particular

-	svn_revision_number=git_commit_sha1
