Re: `git help svn` missing description of `propset`

[Alfred Perlstein <alfred@freebsd.org>]

Eric,

Would love to contribute more to git!  I'm in the middle of a major 
product launch, so I can do this next week.  Of course no hard feelings 
will be had if someone else wants to do it.  I'm making myself a 
calendar invite to remind myself right now.

I'll ping y'all in a week hopefully with a patch.

thank you,

-Alfred
