The latter, I think, is 8ac251b6 (git-svn: allow git-svn fetching to
work using serf, 2013-07-06).  Without it we won't even work with
newer SVN library.

The former I think refers to 73ffac3b (git-svn: fix termination
issues for remote svn connections, 2013-09-03).  Even with the serf
support, without a work-around, we won't work with serf.

The description can and should be rolled into one, but I am not sure
what the best wording would be.

Thanks.
