Documentation: Remove mentions of git-svnimport.

git-svnimport is no longer supported, so don't mention it in the documentation. This also updates the description, removing the historical discussion, since it mostly dealt with how it differed from svnimport. The new description gives some starting points into the rest of the documentation.

12 DESCRIPTION

13 -----------

14 'git-svn' is a simple conduit for changesets between Subversion and git.

15 -It is not to be confused with linkgit:git-svnimport[1], which is

16 -read-only.

15 +It provides a bidirectional flow of changes between a Subversion and a git

16 +respository.

18 -'git-svn' was originally designed for an individual developer who wants a

19 -bidirectional flow of changesets between a single branch in Subversion

20 -and an arbitrary number of branches in git. Since its inception,

21 -'git-svn' has gained the ability to track multiple branches in a manner

22 -similar to 'git-svnimport'.

18 +'git-svn' can track a single Subversion branch simply by using a

19 +URL to the branch, follow branches laid out in the Subversion recommended

20 +method (trunk, branches, tags directories) with the --stdlayout option, or

21 +follow branches in any layout with the -T/-t/-b options (see options to

22 +'init' below, and also the 'clone' command).

24 -'git-svn' is especially useful when it comes to tracking repositories

25 -not organized in the way Subversion developers recommend (trunk,

26 -branches, tags directories).

24 +Once tracking a Subversion branch (with any of the above methods), the git

25 +repository can be updated from Subversion by the 'fetch' command and

26 +Subversion updated from git by the 'dcommit' command.
