You can also save the mergeinfo to a file, add the line, and use
--mergeinfo=$(cat /tmp/some-file) to set it. It is indeed awkward, but
blindly replacing every space with a newline is not always the right
option. If a merged directory contains a space, this change will break
the mergeinfo, even if you're properly quoting your variable or using
the $(cat /some/file) method.

Ah, a situation I neglected to consider! Perhaps we should revert this
patch, since I worked up the initiative to write an
auto-populating-mergeinfo patch for git-svn anyhow.
