git-svn: Teach dcommit --mergeinfo to handle multiple lines
"svn dcommit --mergeinfo" replaces the svn:mergeinfo property in an upstream SVN repository with the given text. The svn:mergeinfo property may contain commits originating on multiple branches, separated by newlines. Cause space characters in the mergeinfo to be replaced by newlines, allowing a user to create history representing multiple branches being merged into one. Update the corresponding documentation and add a test for the new functionality.
