Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: mention `svn:globalignores` in help+docs

From: Alex Galvin <[email-masked]>

Git-SVN was previously taught to use the svn:globalignores attribute
as well as svn:ignore when creating or showing .gitignore files from
a Subversion repository. However, the documentation and help message
still only mentioned svn:ignore. This commit updates Git-SVN's
documentation and help command to mention the newly supported attribute.
