If I understand correctly, this still allows you to write
  $ git svn svn://foo/bar multi-init

which is kindof confusing. But I guess it's less likely that anyone does it by mistake.

Thanks for the quick response, anyway. The documentation patch is also a great improvement.

Now if you could only clarify the documentation of dcommit to explain whether it creates one svn revision per commit in your branch, or if it creates a single svn revision with the full diff, and the documentation would be perfect :-)
