git svn propset and multi-line svn:externals property

I'd like to be able to set the svn:externals property using "git svn propset". However, that property can be multi-line. I've not had any success in setting this property because git svn doesn't seem to handle the newlines.

Is it possible to set multi-line SVN properties somehow? Or could this be a future enhancement?

I'm not sure. I don't use this feature, but it seems tied to gitattributes(5), and I'm not sure if gitattributes supports multi-line values, either...
