Documentation/git-svn: document some of the newer features

I've forgotten to document many of the features added along the
way in the manpages.  This fills in some holes in the
documentation and adds updates some outdated information.

+'commit-diff'::
+	Commits the diff of two tree-ish arguments from the
+	command-line.  This command is intended for interopability with
+	git-svnimport and does not rely on being inside an git-svn
+	init-ed repository.  This command takes three arguments, (a) the
+	original tree to diff against, (b) the new tree result, (c) the
+	URL of the target Subversion repository.  The final argument
+	(URL) may be omitted if you are working from a git-svn-aware

+
+'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 layed 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.
+
+'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).

 We ignore all SVN properties except svn:executable.  Too difficult to
 map them since we rely heavily on git write-tree being _exactly_ the
 same on both the SVN and git working trees and I prefer not to clutter
 working trees with metadata files.
 
-svn:keywords can't be ignored in Subversion (at least I don't know of
-a way to ignore them).
-
 Renamed and copied directories are not detected by git and hence not
 tracked when committing to SVN.  I do not plan on adding support for
 this as it's quite difficult and time-consuming to get working for all
