title: Git downloading trunk using subversion bridge
body: <p>I am using the git to subversion bridge to check out a subversion repository. Initially I was using this command, </p>
  
  <pre><code>get svn clone -s svn://repositoryName/etc
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But our subversion repository is massive, many years of development, many branches, etc.</p>
  
  <p>The consequence is that the process dies often, when it is compressing the repository the memory usage goes above 1.5 GB, and it dies.</p>
  
  <p>So I thought perhaps I would try and just check out the trunk because that is what I am going to be using mostly. So I tried this,</p>
  
  <pre><code>get svn clone -trunk svn://repositoryName/etc
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I get an error, Use of uninitialized value in pattern match.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone please tell me the correct command to use for checking out the trunk only. Also is there a known bug / memory leak? I am using Git version 1.7.3.1-preview20201002 on windows.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any official documentation for git and the command line options?</p>
