git svn fetch specific directory

Is it possible to fetch specific directories using git svn? I am trying to fetch multiple directories that match a name "XYZ" in "trunk/Path". "XYZ" is in multiple paths. 

git svn init --stdlayout --no-minimize-url --trunk=trunk/Path

git svn fetch  --revision 1234:HEAD --authors-file=authors.txt --include-paths="^.*trunk\/subdirpath1/XYZ" 
git svn fetch  --revision 1234:HEAD --authors-file=authors.txt --include-paths="^.*trunk\/subdirpath2/XYZ" 
git svn fetch  --revision 1234:HEAD --authors-file=authors.txt --include-paths="^.*trunk\/subdirpath3/XYZ"

Yes, you can fetch specific directories. Detail steps as below:

1. Add include-paths in .git/config.

Open the .git/config file add include-paths = /path/to/specify under [svn-remote "svn"]. So the config file will look like:

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = false
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
    symlinks = false
    ignorecase = true
[svn-remote "svn"]
    include-paths = subdirpath1/XYZ|subdirpath2/XYZ|subdirpath3/XYZ
    url = https://url/for/svn/repo
    fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/origin/trunk
    branches = branches/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    tags = tags/*:refs/remotes/origin/tags/*

Note: paths for include-paths should contains all the path you want to fetch. Such as if there has the directory trunk/subdirpath4/XYZ, you should also add it in config file.

2. Fetch related path with --include-paths option for git svn fetch:

git svn fetch --include-paths="subdirpath1/XYZ|subdirpath2/XYZ|subdirpath3/XYZ"

Then it will fetch the related svn revisions.
