Document the 'svn propset' command.

Junio + all,

A week ago I was requested to provide documentation for the 'svn propset' command. I have attached a diff off of the 'maint' branch for this, however it seems to apply cleanly to 'master' as well.

Thank you for your patience.

I am not particularly sure whether the above could form a good commit message. I think you wanted to include this as a comment. git-am picks up these patches. The title commit is taken from the subject stripping the '[PATCH]'. Then the body before '---' is taken as the rest of the commit message. Then the diff is applied. To include comments add them after ---. Also please have a look at Documentation/SubmittingPatches. Also missing signoff. For the patch to actually be accept you need to follow those instructions. Thanks for contributing.

Thank you Pranit. I thought that "signed off by" is used once someone approved my patch as opposed to when it's in "proposal" stage. This was my first email with a patch for this issue, who should/could I have used for "signoff"?

Signoff is used to indicate that you are OKAY with releasing your patch according to git's license. For more details see the Documentation/SubmittingPatches[1]. To summarize you will have to add this in the end :

Signed-off-by Alfred Perlstein <[email protected]>

Though I will still recommend you to go through [1] properly.

I actually queued it directly on top of v2.3.0-rc0~32^2 (git-svn:
support for git-svn propset, 2014-12-07) so that it could go to older maintenance tracks.

I will pick up your Reviewed-by: and redo it. Thanks.
