Make clear in the documentation that when using --branches/-b and
--prefix with 'init', the prefix must include a trailing slash.
This matches the actual behavior of git-svn, e.g.:
$ git svn init -Ttrunk -treleases -bbranches --prefix xxx \
http://svn.sacredchao.net/svn/quodlibet/
--prefix='xxx' must have a trailing slash '/'
$

git-svn dcommit exports commits to Subversion, then imports them back
to git again, and last but not least rebases or resets HEAD to the
last of the new commits. I guess this rebasing is convenient when
using just git, but when the commits to be exported are managed by
StGIT, it's really annoying. So add an option to disable this
behavior. And document it, too!

There was a bug in dcommit (and commit-diff) which caused deltas
to be generated against the latest version of the changed file
in a repository, and not the revision we are diffing (the tree)
against locally.
This bug can cause recent changes to the svn repository to be
silently clobbered by git-svn if our repository is out-of-date.
Thanks to Steven Grimm for noticing the bug.

to use the -r/--revision argument. dcommit usage is unchanged.

Added --ignore-nodate to allow 'git svn fetch' to import revisions
from Subversion which have '(no date)' listed as the date of the
revision. By default 'git svn fetch' will crash with an error
when encountering such a revision. The user may restart the fetch
operation by adding --ignore-nodate if they want to continue tracking
that repository.
I'm not entirely sure why a centralized version control system such
as Subversion permits revisions to be created with absolutely no
date/time associated with it but it apparently is possible as one
of the Subversion repositories that I'm tracking with 'git svn'
created such a revision on '(no date)' and by '(no user)'.

'svn info' doesn't work with URLs in svn <= 1.1. Now we
only run svn info in local directories.
As a side effect, this should also work better for 'init' off
directories that are no longer in the latest revision of the
repository.
svn checkout -r<revision> arguments are fixed.
Newer versions of svn (1.2.x) seem to need URL@REV as well as
-rREV to checkout a particular revision...
Add an example in the manpage of how to track directory that has
been moved since its initial revision.

I've said I don't like branches in Subversion, and I still don't.
This is a bit more flexible, though, as the argument for -b is any
arbitrary git head/tag reference.
This makes some things easier:
* Importing git history into a brand new SVN branch.
* Tracking multiple SVN branches via GIT_SVN_ID, even from multiple
repositories.
* Adding tags from SVN (still need to use GIT_SVN_ID, though).
* Even merge tracking is supported, if and only the heads end up with
100% equivalent tree objects. This is more stricter but more robust
and foolproof than parsing commit messages, imho.

After reading a lengthy discussion on the list, I've come to the
conclusion that creating a 'remotes' directory in refs isn't
such a bad idea.
You can still branch from it by specifying remotes/git-svn (not
needing the leading 'refs/'), and the documentation has been
updated to reflect that.
The 'git-svn' part of the ref can of course be set to whatever
you want by using the GIT_SVN_ID environment variable, as
before.
I'm using refs/remotes/git-svn, and not going with something
like refs/remotes/git-svn/HEAD as it's redundant for Subversion
where there's zero distinction between branches and directories.
Run git-svn rebuild --upgrade to upgrade your repository to use
the new head. git-svn-HEAD must be manually deleted for safety
reasons.
Side note: if you ever (and I hope you never) want to run
git-update-refs on a 'remotes/' ref, make sure you have the
'refs/' prefix as you don't want to be clobbering your
'remotes/' in $GIT_DIR (where remote URLs are stored).
