---no-stop-on-copy::
-       Only used with the 'fetch' command.

-       By default, git-svn passes --stop-on-copy to avoid dealing with
-       the copied/renamed branch directory problem entirely.  A
-       copied/renamed branch is the result of a <SVN_URL> being created
-       in the past from a different source.  These are problematic to
-       deal with even when working purely with svn if you work inside
-       subdirectories.
-
-       Do not use this flag unless you know exactly what you're getting
-       yourself into.  You have been warned.
