Empty directories are automatically recreated when using
"git svn clone" and "git svn rebase", so "mkdirs" is intended
for use after commands like "git checkout" or "git reset".
+ (See the svn-remote.<name>.automkdirs config file option for
+ more information.)
'commit-diff'::
Commits the diff of two tree-ish arguments from the
locales to avoid corrupted file names with non-ASCII characters.
Valid encodings are the ones supported by Perl's Encode module.
+svn-remote.<name>.automkdirs::
+ Normally, the "git svn clone" and "git svn rebase" commands
+ attempt to recreate empty directories that are in the
+ Subversion repository. If this option is set to "false", then
+ empty directories will only be created if the "git svn mkdirs"
+ command is run explicitly. If unset, 'git svn' assumes this
+ option to be "true".

Since the noMetadata, rewriteRoot, rewriteUUID, useSvnsyncProps and useSvmProps
options all affect the metadata generated and used by 'git svn'; they
*must* be set in the configuration file before any history is imported
