+--ignore-paths=<regex>;;
+	This allows one to specify Perl regular expression that will
+	cause skipping of all matching paths from checkout from SVN.
+	Examples:
+
+	--ignore-paths="^doc" - skip "doc*" directory for every fetch.
+
+	--ignore-paths="^[^/]+/(?:branches|tags)" - skip "branches"
+	    and "tags" of first level directories.
+
+	Regular expression is not persistent, you should specify
+	it every time when fetching.
