+The initial \fIgit\-svn clone\fR can be quite time\-consuming (especially for large Subversion repositories). If multiple people (or one person with multiple machines) want to use git\-svn to interact with the same Subversion repository, you can do the initial \fIgit\-svn clone\fR to a repository on a server and have each person clone that repository with \fIgit clone\fR:

 .SH "REBASE VS. PULL/MERGE"
 Originally, git\-svn recommended that the remotes/git\-svn branch be pulled or merged from. This is because the author favored \fIgit\-svn set\-tree B\fR to commit a single head rather than the \fIgit\-svn set\-tree A..B\fR notation to commit multiple commits.
