git-svn: Clone an SVN repository starting at a given revision number.

$ git svn clone -r${1234}:HEAD ${https:--svn-example-net-subversion-repo} ${local_dir}

try on your machine

The command "git svn clone" is used to create a Git repository that mirrors a Subversion (SVN) repository.

The options and arguments in the command you provided are as follows:

"-r${1234}:HEAD": This option specifies the revision range to clone from the SVN repository. In this case, it starts from revision 1234 and clones until the latest revision ('HEAD').
"${https:--svn-example-net-subversion-repo}": This argument is the URL of the SVN repository you want to clone. It should be in the form of an HTTP or HTTPS URL.
"${local_dir}": This argument specifies the local directory where the cloned Git repository will be created. It can be a relative or absolute path.

So, putting it all together, the command "git svn clone -r${1234}:HEAD ${https:--svn-example-net-subversion-repo} ${local_dir}" will create a Git repository that mirrors the specified SVN repository, starting from revision 1234 and cloning until the latest revision. The resulting repository will be created in the specified local directory.
