Subject: [PATCH] git-svn.txt: mention how to rebuild rev_map files
Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 16:19:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1379971145-8971-1-git-send-email-keshav.kini@gmail.com> (raw)

The man page for `git svn` describes a situation in which "'git svn'
will not be able to rebuild" your .git/svn/**/.rev_map files, but no
mention is made of in what circumstances `git svn` *will* be able to do
so, or how to get `git svn` to do so.

This patch adds some language to the description of the 'fetch' command
to rectify this oversight, and also fixes an AsciiDoc escaping typo.
