[PATCH] Documentation/git-svn: clarify dcommit, rebase vs pull/merge

[Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>]

Clarify that dcommit creates a revision in SVN for every commit
in git.  Also, add 'merge' to the rebase vs pull section because
git-merge is now a first-class UI.

 Originally, git-svn recommended that the remotes/git-svn branch be

-to commit multiple commits.
