+--ignore-paths=<regex>;;
+ This allows one to specify Perl regular expression that will
+ cause skipping of all matching paths from checkout from SVN.
+ Examples:
+
+ --ignore-paths="^doc" - skip "doc*" directory for every fetch.
+
+ --ignore-paths="^[^/]+/(?:branches|tags)" - skip "branches"
+ and "tags" of first level directories.
+
+ Regular expression is not persistent, you should specify
+ it every time when fetching.
