There seems to be a bug using git svn rebase with strategies

git version 1.7.7.2


$ git svn rebase --strategy=theirs

First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
/usr/lib/git-core/git-rebase--merge: line 69: git-merge-theirs: command not found
Unknown exit code (127) from command: git-merge-theirs deabad54a6d5ce3ab3f655e06b9c24eadbba6f6c^ -- HEAD deabad54a6d5ce3ab3f655e06b9c24eadbba6f6c
rebase --strategy=theirs refs/remotes/git-svn: command returned error: 1
```

ENOENT. The "theirs" strategy doesn't exist (there is an "ours"
strategy). "Theirs" in a option to the recursive merge strategy.

The bug is the failure to detect that the merge strategy doesn't
exist, but your command wouldn't have worked anyway.
