Read a file with lines on the form

+list, abort.
++
+For convenience, this data is saved to $GIT_DIR/svn-authors
+each time the -A option is provided, and read from that same
+file each time git-svnimport is run with an existing GIT
+repository without -A.
-m::
Attempt to detect merges based on the commit message. This option
-l <max_rev>::
Specify a maximum revision number to pull.
++
+Formerly, this option controlled how many revisions to pull,
+due to SVN memory leaks. (These have been worked around.)

+-R <repack_each_revs>::
+ Specify how often git repository should be repacked.
++
+The default value is 1000. git-svnimport will do import in chunks of 1000
+revisions, after each chunk git repository will be repacked. To disable
+this behavior specify some big value here which is mote than number of
+revisions to import.
+
+-P <path_from_trunk>::
+ Partial import of the SVN tree.
++
+By default, the whole tree on the SVN trunk (/trunk) is imported.
+'-P my/proj' will import starting only from '/trunk/my/proj'.
+This option is useful when you want to import one project from a
+svn repo which hosts multiple projects under the same trunk.
-v::
Verbosity: let 'svnimport' report what it is doing.
