Using this option for any other purpose (don't ask) is very strongly
discouraged.
+--mergeinfo=<mergeinfo>;;
+ Add the given merge information during the dcommit
+ (e.g. `--mergeinfo="/branches/foo:1-10"`). All svn server versions can
+ store this information (as a property), and svn clients starting from
+ version 1.5 can make use of it. 'git svn' currently does not use it
+ and does not set it automatically.
+
'branch'::
Create a branch in the SVN repository.
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
