Subject: [PATCH] git-new-workdir: Share SVN meta data between work dirs and the repository
Message-ID: <87ejaczoxu.fsf@gollum.intra.norang.ca>

```
Multiple work dirs with git svn caused each work dir to have its own
stale copy of the SVN meta data in .git/svn

git svn rebase updates commits with git-svn-id: in the repository and
stores the SVN meta data information only in that work dir.  Attempting to
git svn rebase in other work dirs for the same branch would fail because
the last revision fetched according to the git-svn-id is greater than the
revision in the SVN meta data for that work directory.
