Can you be more specific, what is the layout of your repository and
which directories are missing?

/ -- trunk
 -- branches
 -- tags
 -- thirdparty
 -- private

If your repository looks like that, and 'thirdparty' and 'private' are
missing, that's because git svn assumes that you're only interested in
trunk, branches and tags by default.

I'm not entirely sure which directories you mean - I've got none of
those, neither in the repository nor the working copy. One of the
directories missing in the top-level directory of the working copy is
"Linux", which contains my .bashrc and tens of other config files.
Which is really odd, because here are the last few lines of "git svn
fetch --revision 993:1879":
r1878 = 3fcec05426b59b0bad43b02cc3c367525d2c0b93 (git-svn)
	M	Linux/etc/cups/printers.conf
r1879 = 7ab92e8f4bb1a277621d67ba7373f56a694466c1 (git-svn)

After checking this output a bit closer, it turns out only the
directories and files that were retrieved by "git svn clone" (the
first revision only) remain. Where did the files from the "git svn
fetch" go? Do I need to run something after fetch to see them?
