`git help svn` missing description of `propset`

`git help svn` missing description of `propset`

[Joseph Pecoraro]

`git help svn` does not mention `propset` but it does mention `proplist` and `propget`. This seems like an oversight.


    $ git help svn
    ...
        proplist
            Lists the properties stored in the Subversion repository about a given file or directory.
            Use -r/--revision to refer to a specific Subversion revision.
        
        propget
            Gets the Subversion property given as the first argument, for a file. A specific revision
            can be specified with -r/--revision.
    ...


Interestingly, the generic `git svn` help does mention `propset`.


    $ git svn
    ...
      propget          Print the value of a property on a file or directory
                         --revision, -r <num>
      proplist         List all properties of a file or directory
                         --revision, -r <num>
      propset          Set the value of a property on a file or directory - will be set on commit
    ...
  
It seems Documentation/git-svn.txt is missing text for `propset`.

Thanks Joseph, indeed it is missing from the manpage.

Alfred / David: either of you have a few cycles to spare to write
a manpage entry for this feature you worked on?

If not, let us know, too, so others can work on it.  Thanks.

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
