For my situation this would be sufficient.

I have some local patches that git-rebase does a nice job of plopping on 
the head of the branch whenever there are changes.  Right now those 
patches are sitting on trunk but I would like to move them to fixes-2_6 
and maintain them there.

I had started to do a 'git svn clone' of the fpc repository myself and 
after it ran for 16 hours wondered if there were a better way.  Creating 
the limited history 2.6 fixes branch repository myself is probably also 
an option if you have better things to do.

Thanks
