The git-svn tool is not consistent with the rest of the git bunch as it
doesn't have any option to display a short summary of options or the
manual page. It would be nice to have at least -h/--help working as this
is usually expected from a command line tool.

retitle 483519 git svn -h requires a git repo

Hi Josef,

Thanks for the report.

I assume you are talking about this behavior:

$ git svn -h
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
Already at toplevel, but .git not found
 at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 274
$

Within a git repository, git svn has supported -h and --help from the
beginning.
