Setting SVN properties with git-svn, and removing empty directories

Hi

I want to start using git to track the upstream svn repository of a project I work on but am running into a couple of problems that I need to resolve before I can do this.

1) Is there a way that I can set, or modify, svn properties of files,
for example svn:keywords or svn:eol-style using git-svn?

2) Whenever I delete a directory using git-svn and merge my changes to
the upstream svn repository using "git svn dcommit" the directories in
question are removed from the git repository but only the contents of
these directories are removed from the svn repository, the directories
themselves remain. Is there a way to ensure that these directories are
removed from the svn repository?

Cheers

Adam
