+.SH "NAME"
+git-auto-svn \- Automatically set up git\-svn metadata for a repo mirrored from SVN\&.
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+.nf
+\fIgit auto\-svn\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+git auto\-svn automatically sets up git\-svn metadata and runs git\-svn fetch for repos that are homed in SVN but mirrored to Git (such as depot_tools itself)\&.
+.sp
+It determines the metadata to use by inspecting the git\-svn\-id footer of the HEAD of the remote upstream ref (by default, origin/master)\&. git\-svn\-id footers look like this:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+git\-svn\-id: svn://some\&.host\&.org/repo/path/to/a/sub/folder@123456 0039d316\-1c4b\-4281\-b951\-d872f2087c98
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.sp
+git auto\-svn extracts the repository url (svn://some\&.host\&.org/repo/path/to/a/sub/folder) from the git\-svn\-id, and splits it into the root repository (svn://some\&.host\&.org/repo) and the path within that repository (/path/to/a/sub/folder)\&.
+.sp
+It then sets up the following stanza in \&.git/config:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+[svn\-remote "svn"]
+    url = svn://some\&.host\&.org/repo
+    fetch = path/to/a/sub/folder:refs/remotes/origin/master
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.sp
+Finally, it runs git svn fetch to pull in the data from the svn remote\&.
+.SH "CONFIGURATION VARIABLES"
+.SS "svn\-remote\&.svn\&.url"
+.sp
+This is the url of the root of the remote svn repository\&.
+.SS "svn\-remote\&.svn\&.fetch"
+.sp
+This looks like a git refspec, but maps a subdirectory of the svn repository to a single ref in the git remote\&.
+.SH "EXAMPLE"
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+git clone https://chromium\&.googlesource\&.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools
+cd depot_tools
+git auto\-svn
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.sp
+This results in the following stanza in depot_tools/\&.git/config:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+[svn\-remote "svn"]
+    url = svn://svn\&.chromium\&.org/chrome
+    fetch = trunk/tools/depot_tools:refs/remotes/origin/master
+.fi
+.if n \{\
