title: git svn clone [with Single File]
body: <p>I know I can use git-svn to clone a directory into a new Git Repo, but how can I use git-svn to clone a <strong><em>single file</em></strong> into a new Git repo?</p>
  
  <p>I have a requirement to split up my SVN repository into several GIT repos and I need to clone certain directories into new Git Repositories.  Using git-svn I am able to use the following command for directories:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git svn clone "svnRepo/folderName/" "C:/newGitRepo/FolderName"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but when I try:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git svn clone "svnRepo/folderName/style.css" "C:/newGitRepo/FolderName"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it does not work, it gives me the following output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Initialized empty Git repository in C:/newGitRepo/FolderName/.git/
  W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013): Filesystem has no item: '...trunk/folderName/style.css' path not found
  W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching aggressively for old history.
  This may take a while on large repositories
  Invalid filesystem path syntax: Cannot replace a directory from within at /mingw64/share/perl5/site_perl/Git/SVN/Ra.pm line 308.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there anyway to clone a single file into a new Git Repo?</p>
  
  <p>(I am using this version of GIT: <a href="https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.8.3.windows.1/Git-2.8.3-32-bit.exe" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.8.3.windows.1/Git-2.8.3-32-bit.exe</a>)</p>
