+	Commit each diff from the current branch directly to the SVN
 	repository, and then rebase or reset (depending on whether or
 	not there is a diff between SVN and head).  This will create
 	a revision in SVN for each commit in git.
 	It is recommended that you run 'git svn' fetch and rebase (not
 	pull or merge) your commits against the latest changes in the
 	SVN repository.
-	An optional revision or branch argument may be specified, and
