The standard for command documentation synopses appears to be:
[...] means optional
<...> means replaceable
[<...>] means both optional and replaceable
So fix a number of doc pages that use incorrect variations of the
above.

The email address in --authors-file and --authors-prog can be empty but
git-svn translated it into a fictional email address in the form
jondoe <jondoe@6aafaa21e0fb4338a68ab372a049893d>
containing the SVN repository UUID. Now git-svn behaves like git-commit:
If the email is *explicitly* set to the empty string using '<>', the
commit does not contain an email address, only the name:
jondoe <>
Allowing to remove the email address *intentionally* prevents automatic
systems from sending emails to those fictional addresses and avoids
cluttering the log output with unnecessary stuff.

In 36db1eddf9 ("git-svn: add --authors-prog option", 2009-05-14) the path
to authors-prog was made absolute because git-svn changes the current
directory in some situations. This makes sense if the program is part of
the repository but prevents searching via $PATH.
The old behaviour is still retained, but if the file does not exists, then
authors-prog is searched for in $PATH as any other command.

Follow the Oxford style, which says to use "up-to-date" before the noun,
but "up to date" after it. Don't change plumbing (specifically
send-pack.c, but transport.c (git push) also has the same string).
This was produced by grepping for "up-to-date" and "up to date". It
turned out we only had to edit in one direction, removing the hyphens.

Expand the area of globs applicability for branches and tags
in git-svn. It is now possible to use globs like 'a*e', or 'release_*'.
This allows users to avoid long lines in config like:

In favor of:
branches = branches/release_*

Versions of Perl's Getopt::Long module before 2.37 do not contain
this fix that first appeared in Getopt::Long version 2.37:
* Bugfix: With gnu_compat, --foo= will no longer trigger "Option
requires an argument" but return the empty string.
Instead of using --prefix="" use --prefix "" when testing an
explictly empty prefix string in order to work with older versions

git-svn by default puts its Subversion-tracking refs directly in
refs/remotes/*. This runs counter to Git's convention of using
refs/remotes/$remote/* for storing remote-tracking branches.
Furthermore, combining git-svn with regular git remotes run the risk of
clobbering refs under refs/remotes (e.g. if you have a git remote
called "tags" with a "v1" branch, it will overlap with the git-svn's
tracking branch for the "v1" tag from Subversion.
Even though the git-svn refs stored in refs/remotes/* are not "proper"
remote-tracking branches (since they are not covered by a proper git
remote's refspec), they clearly represent a similar concept, and would
benefit from following the same convention.
For example, if git-svn tracks Subversion branch "foo" at
refs/remotes/foo, and you create a local branch refs/heads/foo to add
some commits to be pushed back to Subversion (using "git svn dcommit),
then it is clearly unhelpful of Git to throw
warning: refname 'foo' is ambiguous.
every time you checkout, rebase, or otherwise interact with the branch.
The existing workaround for this is to supply the --prefix=quux/ to
git svn init/clone, so that git-svn's tracking branches end up in
refs/remotes/quux/* instead of refs/remotes/*. However, encouraging
users to specify --prefix to work around a design flaw in git-svn is
suboptimal, and not a long term solution to the problem. Instead,
git-svn should default to use a non-empty prefix that saves
unsuspecting users from the inconveniences described above.
This patch will only affect newly created git-svn setups, as the
--prefix option only applies to git svn init (and git svn clone).
Existing git-svn setups will continue with their existing (lack of)
prefix. Also, if anyone somehow prefers git-svn's old layout, they
can recreate that by explicitly passing an empty prefix (--prefix "")
on the git svn init/clone command line.
The patch changes the default value for --prefix from "" to "origin/",
updates the git-svn manual page, and fixes the fallout in the git-svn
testcases.
(Note that this patch might be easier to review using the --word-diff
and --word-diff-regex=. diff options.)

In Git v2.0, we will change the default --prefix for init/clone from
none/empty to "origin/" (which causes SVN-tracking branches to be
placed at refs/remotes/origin/* instead of refs/remotes/*).
This patch warns users about the upcoming change, both in the git-svn
manual page, and on stderr when running init/clone in the "multi-mode"
without providing a --prefix.

Currently, the git-svn defaults to using an empty prefix, which ends
up placing the SVN-tracking refs directly in refs/remotes/*. This
placement runs counter to Git's convention of placing remote-tracking
branches in refs/remotes/$remote/*.
Furthermore, combining git-svn with "regular" Git remotes run the risk
of clobbering refs under refs/remotes (e.g. if you have a git remote

every time you checkout, rebase, or otherwise interact with the branch.
At this time, the user is better off using the --prefix=foo/ (the
trailing slash is important) to git svn init/clone, to cause the
SVN-tracking refs to be placed at refs/remotes/foo/* instead of
refs/remotes/*. This patch updates the documentation to encourage
use of --prefix.
This is also in preparation for changing the default value of --prefix
at some point in the future.

The man page for `git svn` describes a situation in which "'git svn'

no mention is made of in what circumstances `git svn` *will* be able to
do so, how to get `git svn` to do so, or even what these files are.
This patch adds a FILES section to the man page with a description of

links to this description from various other parts of the man page.

The SVN::Fetcher module is now able to filter for inclusion as well
as exclusion (as used by --ignore-path). Also added tests, documentation
changes and git completion script.
If you have an SVN repository with many top level directories and you
only want a git-svn clone of some of them then using --ignore-path is
difficult as it requires a very long regexp. In this case it's much
easier to filter for inclusion.

When a single SVN repository is split into multiple Git repositories
many SVN revisions will exist in only one of the Git repositories
created. For some projects the only way to build a working artifact is
to check out corresponding versions of various repositories, with no
indication of what those are in the Git world - in the SVN world the
revision numbers are sufficient.
By adding "--before" to "git-svn find-rev" we can say "tell me what this
repository looked like when that other repository looked like this":
git svn find-rev --before \
r$(git --git-dir=/over/there.git svn find-rev HEAD)
