Uhm, "positional arguments" are non-option arguments.

No, there was a :: missing, and the SVN_repository_URL part was duplicated. The documentation tries to remind the reader that the "/absolute/path" syntax does not work and you have to use a real URL.

(I haven't got git-svnimport to work so far, but the Subversion RA layer is transport-agnostic, so if it works for file://, it will also work for svn:// or http://).
