Documentation/git-svn: clarify dcommit, rebase vs pull/merge

Clarify that dcommit creates a revision in SVN for every commit
in git.  Also, add 'merge' to the rebase vs pull section because
git-merge is now a first-class UI.

Originally, git-svn recommended that the remotes/git-svn branch be
pulled from. This is because the author favored 'git-svn set-tree B'
to commit a single head rather than the 'git-svn set-tree A..B' notation
to commit multiple commits.

'git-svn set-tree A..B' notation to commit multiple commits.
If you use 'git-svn set-tree A..B' to commit several diffs and you do not
have the latest remotes/git-svn merged into my-branch, you should use
'git rebase' to update your work branch instead of 'git pull'. 'pull'
can cause non-linear history to be flattened when committing into SVN,
which can lead to merge commits reversing previous commits in SVN.
