Also, git-svn\nseems to be inconsistent in its use of \"--long opt\" and \"--long=opt\".\nAnyways, here's a documentation patch. (I'm trying out my newly acquired\nknowledge from SubmittingPatches rather then send-email, so hopefully\nthis is not fl[ao]wed.)\n\n--- >8 ---\nFrom: Michael J Gruber \nSubject: [PATCH] git-svn.txt: Document --mergeinfo\n\n6abd933 (git-svn: allow the mergeinfo property to be set, 2010-09-24)\nintroduced the --mergeinfo option.
