`git help svn` does not mention `propset` but it does mention `proplist` and `propget`. This seems like an oversight.
    $ git help svn
    ...
        proplist
            Lists the properties stored in the Subversion repository about a given file or directory.
            Use -r/--revision to refer to a specific Subversion revision.
        
        propget
            Gets the Subversion property given as the first argument, for a file. A specific revision
            can be specified with -r/--revision.
    ...
Interestingly, the generic `git svn` help does mention `propset`.
    $ git svn
    ...
      propget          Print the value of a property on a file or directory
                         --revision, -r <num>
      proplist         List all properties of a file or directory
                         --revision, -r <num>
      propset          Set the value of a property on a file or directory - will be set on commit
    ...
  
It seems Documentation/git-svn.txt is missing text for `propset`.
