Test 2

Based on these posts and on these posts.

• -s is for --stdlayout which presumes the svn recommended layout for tags, trunk, and branches.
• -r is for the revision to start taking history from. If you want to include all of the history, just leave that option off, but it will take a very long time, and you really don't need all of it. The older a revision you choose, the longer it will take to import. But you will not be able to "git blame" past the earliest revision you import. Choose wisely.

md C:\relax
cd C:\relax
git svn clone -s -r 20000:HEAD svn://svn.gna.org/svn/relax/trunk/
