.git/config file may be specified as an optional command-line
argument.
+--localtime;;
+ Store Git commit times in the local timezone instead of UTC. This
+ makes 'git-log' (even without --date=local) show the same times
+ that `svn log` would in the local timezone.
+
+This doesn't interfere with interoperating with the Subversion
+repository you cloned from, but if you wish for your local Git
+repository to be able to interoperate with someone else's local Git
+repository, either don't use this option or you should both use it in
+the same local timezone.
+
'clone'::
Runs 'init' and 'fetch'. It will automatically create a
directory based on the basename of the URL passed to it;
This works similarly to `svn update` or 'git-pull' except that
it preserves linear history with 'git-rebase' instead of
-'git-merge' for ease of dcommiting with 'git-svn'.
+'git-merge' for ease of dcommitting with 'git-svn'.
This accepts all options that 'git-svn fetch' and 'git-rebase'
accept. However, '--fetch-all' only fetches from the current
is very strongly discouraged.
--
+'branch'::
+ Create a branch in the SVN repository.
+
+-m;;
+--message;;
+ Allows to specify the commit message.
+
+-t;;
+--tag;;
+ Create a tag by using the tags_subdir instead of the branches_subdir
+ specified during git svn init.
+
+'tag'::
+ Create a tag in the SVN repository. This is a shorthand for
+ 'branch -t'.
+
'log'::
This should make it easy to look up svn log messages when svn
users refer to -r/--revision numbers.
-n::
--dry-run::
-This can be used with the 'dcommit' and 'rebase' commands.
+This can be used with the 'dcommit', 'rebase', 'branch' and 'tag'
+commands.
For 'dcommit', print out the series of git arguments that would show
which diffs would be committed to SVN.
repository associated with the current branch and the URL of svn
repository that will be fetched from.
+For 'branch' and 'tag', display the urls that will be used for copying when
+creating the branch or tag.
