Help me ID this tiny vine that's consuming my backyard!

19 years ago

My San Francisco backyard has been taken over by a small wiry vine with itty bitty leaves (less than a cm long). Though the leaves themselves are quite small, the plant grows to massive proportions as it forms a matted blanket over everything. It's encased the fence, it's growing up the neighbor's fire escape, it's taken over half a plum tree. This stuff is tenacious.

I am very curious to know what it's called. Any help in identifying this plant would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
