The git-svn option connects to an SVN repository, and you specify the URL in
exactly the same way, but git is used as a back-end. This is preferable for
performance reasons, and also because a local copy of the entire history is
available in case the upstream repository disappears. (It happens!)
available in case the upstream repository disappears. (It happens!). In
order to use RepoManifest or Tags as update check modes for this VCS type
the URL must encode the path to the trunk and tags, like so:
http://svn.code.sf.net/p/project/code;trunk=trunk;tags=tags.
For a Subversion repo that requires authentication, you can precede the repo
URL with username:password@ and those parameters will be passed as @option{--username}
