Update svn-fe manual
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The svn-fe example does not litter the working directory with
.bin files any more (hoorah!).

The permissive error handling implies a known bug.  We should
be flagging iffy input and, even if we continue, reporting it
on exit.

BUGS
----
Litters the current working directory with .bin files for
persistence. Will be fixed when the svn-fe infrastructure is aware of
a Git working directory.
Empty directories and unknown properties are silently discarded.

The exit status does not reflect whether an error was detected.
