git-svn: documentation updates for new functionality

Force the showing of the --minimize flag as an option in the
'migrate' help.

Also, fix the usage function to correctly filter out
the deprecated aliases.

git-svn is a simple conduit for changesets between Subversion and git.
It is not to be confused with gitlink:git-svnimport[1], which is

git-svn was originally designed for an individual developer who wants a
bidirectional flow of changesets between a single branch in Subversion
and an arbitrary number of branches in git. Since its inception,
git-svn has gained the ability to track multiple branches in a manner
similar to git-svnimport; but it cannot (yet) automatically detect new
branches and tags like git-svnimport does.

Initializes an empty git repository with additional
metadata directories for git-svn. The Subversion URL
may be specified as a command-line argument, or as full
URL arguments to -T/-t/-b. Optionally, the target
directory to operate on can be specified as a second
argument. Normally this command initializes the current
directory.
'fetch'::
-T<trunk_subdir>::
--trunk=<trunk_subdir>::
-t<tags_subdir>::
--tags=<tags_subdir>::
-b<branches_subdir>::
--branches=<branches_subdir>::
These are optional command-line options for init. Each of
these flags can point to a relative repository path
(--tags=project/tags') or a full url
(--tags=https://foo.org/project/tags)
Fetch unfetched revisions from the Subversion URL we are
tracking. refs/remotes/git-svn will be updated to the
latest revision.
--prefix=<prefix>
This allows one to specify a prefix which is prepended
to the names of remotes if trunk/branches/tags are
specified. The prefix does not automatically include a
trailing slash, so be sure you include one in the
argument if that is what you want. This is useful if
you wish to track multiple projects that share a common
repository.
Note: You should never attempt to modify the remotes/git-svn
branch outside of git-svn. Instead, create a branch from
remotes/git-svn and work on that branch. Use the 'dcommit'
command (see below) to write git commits back to
remotes/git-svn.
'fetch'::
Fetch unfetched revisions from the Subversion remote we are
tracking. The name of the [svn-remote "..."] section in the
.git/config file may be specified as an optional command-line
argument.

The -r<revision> option is required for this.
'graft-branches'::
This command attempts to detect merges/branches from already
imported history. Techniques used currently include regexes,
file copies, and tree-matches). This command generates (or
modifies) the $GIT_DIR/info/grafts file. This command is
considered experimental, and inherently flawed because
merge-tracking in SVN is inherently flawed and inconsistent
across different repositories.
'multi-init'::
This command supports git-svnimport-like command-line syntax for
importing repositories that are laid out as recommended by the
SVN folks. This is a bit more tolerant than the git-svnimport
command-line syntax and doesn't require the user to figure out
where the repository URL ends and where the repository path
begins.
-T<trunk_subdir>::
--trunk=<trunk_subdir>::
-t<tags_subdir>::
--tags=<tags_subdir>::
-b<branches_subdir>::

These are the command-line options for multi-init. Each of
these flags can point to a relative repository path
(--tags=project/tags') or a full url

--prefix=<prefix>
This allows one to specify a prefix which is prepended to the
names of remotes. The prefix does not automatically include a
trailing slash, so be sure you include one in the argument if
that is what you want. This is useful if you wish to track
multiple projects that share a common repository.
'multi-fetch'::
This runs fetch on all known SVN branches we're tracking. This
will NOT discover new branches (unlike git-svnimport), so
multi-init will need to be re-run (it's idempotent).

This allows revision ranges for partial/cauterized history
to be supported. $NUMBER, $NUMBER1:$NUMBER2 (numeric ranges),
$NUMBER:HEAD, and BASE:$NUMBER are all supported.

Used with 'fetch', 'dcommit' or 'set-tree'.
This can be used to join arbitrary git branches to remotes/git-svn

When used with different GIT_SVN_ID values, tags and branches in
SVN can be tracked this way, as can some merges where the heads
end up having completely equivalent content. This can even be
used to track branches across multiple SVN _repositories_.
This option may be specified multiple times, once for each
branch.

Merge tracking in Subversion is lacking and doing branched development
with Subversion is cumbersome as a result. git-svn does not do
automated merge/branch tracking by default and leaves it entirely up to

TRACKING MULTIPLE REPOSITORIES OR BRANCHES
------------------------------------------
Because git-svn does not care about relationships between different
branches or directories in a Subversion repository, git-svn has a simple
hack to allow it to track an arbitrary number of related _or_ unrelated
SVN repositories via one git repository. Simply use the --id/-i flag or
set the GIT_SVN_ID environment variable to a name other other than
"git-svn" (the default) and git-svn will ignore the contents of the
$GIT_DIR/svn/git-svn directory and instead do all of its work in
$GIT_DIR/svn/$GIT_SVN_ID for that invocation. The interface branch will
be remotes/$GIT_SVN_ID, instead of remotes/git-svn. Any
remotes/$GIT_SVN_ID branch should never be modified by the user outside
of git-svn commands.
If you're tracking a directory that has moved, or otherwise been
branched or tagged off of another directory in the repository and you
care about the full history of the project, then you can use
the --follow-parent option.

CONFIGURATION
-------------
git-svn stores [svn-remote] configuration information in the
repository .git/config file. It is similar the core git
[remote] sections except 'fetch' keys do not accept glob
arguments; but they are instead handled by the 'branches'
and 'tags' keys. Since some SVN repositories are oddly
configured with multiple projects glob expansions such those
listed below are allowed:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[svn-remote "project-a"]
url = http://server.org/svn
branches = branches/*/project-a:refs/remotes/project-a/branches/*
tags = tags/*/project-a:refs/remotes/project-a/tags/*
trunk = trunk/project-a:refs/remotes/project-a/trunk
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep in mind that the '*' (asterisk) wildcard of the local ref
(left of the ':') *must* be the farthest right path component;
however the remote wildcard may be anywhere as long as it's own
independent path componet (surrounded by '/' or EOL). This
type of configuration is not automatically created by 'init' and
should be manually entered with a text-editor or using
gitlink:git-config[1]
