Subject: [PATCH v3] git-svn: mention `svn:global-ignores` in help+docs

From: "Alex Galvin via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2024 20:03:10 +0000

From: Alex Galvin <[email-masked]>

Git-SVN was previously taught to use the svn:global-ignores property 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. Update Git-SVN's documentation and help
command to mention support for the new property. Also capitalize the
help message for the 'mkdirs' command, for consistency.
