I don't know.

In my past use of git-svn, I've _always_ stuck with linear changes and
avoided anything non-linear.  SVN mergeinfo didn't exist when/where I
used SVN and my only current uses of git-svn is read-only.


Anyhow, I'm willing to accept your change since it doesn't appear to
break anything for existing users and Sam seems to approve.
