This isn't quite how the other options are listed in the source; for one, this
ends up formatted in the final manpage like

--no-checkout Do not checkout latest revision after fetching.

Instead of

--no-checkout
	Do not checkout latest revision after fetching.

Also, the wording seems slightly imprecise; in fact, if the repository already
has a checkout, git svn fetch would not attempt to check anything out in its
place, nor will it check anything out if there is a local master branch
already.  With clone this is not typically a problem, but in fact it is
possible to clone into a preexisting git repository, so the same concerns
exist.

I think the wording is close enough; here's a version which looks good
to me and fixes the asciidoc differences.
