2012-12-05git-svn: Document branches with at-sign(@).Libravatar Sebastian Leske1-0/+46
git svn sometimes creates branches with an at-sign in the name (branchname@revision). These branches confuse many users and it is a FAQ why they are created. Document when git svn creates them.

2012-11-29git-fast-import.txt: improve documentation for quoted pathsLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-2/+6
The documentation mentioned only newlines and double quotes as characters needing escaping, but the backslash also needs it. Also, the documentation was not clearly saying that double quotes around the file name were required (double quotes in the examples could be interpreted as part of the sentence, not part of the actual string).
