+ Similar to Git's `remote.<name>.pushurl`, this key is designed
to be used in cases where 'url' points to an SVN repository
via a read-only transport, to provide an alternate read/write
transport. It is assumed that both keys point to the same
Git commit to serve as parent. This will happen, among other reasons,
if the SVN branch is a copy of a revision that was not fetched by 'git
svn' (e.g. because it is an old revision that was skipped with
-'--revision'), or if in SVN a directory was copied that is not tracked

by 'git svn' (such as a branch that is not tracked at all, or a
subdirectory of a tracked branch). In these cases, 'git svn' will still
create a Git branch, but instead of using an existing Git commit as the
copy of a complete repository, for projects with many branches it will
lead to a working copy many times larger than just the trunk. Thus for
