Hi,

the command documentation for 'git svn fetch' lists the following two options:

  --use-log-author
and
  --add-author-from

However, as the current description of both states, they are also applicable to 'git svn' subcommands other than fetch. The first patch moves them, the second patch applies some cosmetics.

My remaining question regarding the second option, '--add-author-from', is about the subcommands which it is applicable to. The current documentation states 'commit' and 'dcommit'. My feeling is that 'commit' is a typo, since 'git svn' does not have a 'commit' subcommand. I had a look at the code, and while I am not familiar with perl, it seems to me that the three subcommands that use the option are 'commit-diff', 'set-tree' and 'dcommit'. But this is non-trivial -- feedback is appreciated.
