+   .. note:: In the step a) above, you may want to install an
+             appropriate hook in the repository to enable the
+             propset command to operate on unversioned properties,
+             as described in the `svn manual`__. Then you can
+             specify '--use-svn-propset' option, and tailor will
+             put the original author and timestamp in the proper
+             svn metadata instead of appending them to the changelog.
+
+             Beware: there is a note__ that revisions have to be
+             sorted in date order! This means that, if you have an
+             existing subversion repository, you can't really add in
+             another project.  The dates would all be interwined.
+             You would basically have to recreate the repo.  You can
+             work around this by using separate repos.
