Package: svn-buildpackage
Version: 0.6.16etch1
Severity: minor

Consider the example of man page of svn-inject.
The man page tells that svn-inject accepts an option such as

-c number

where number could be 0 or 1 or 2. But it does not mention what number is
assumed when the -c option is not specified at all. As a new user of
svn-buildpackage, I think it would be much better if the manual pages mentions
what the default action corresponds to. I gave the -c option just as an example
and it is the same issue with almost all the options.

The problem can also be seen in manual pages of other commands such as
svn-buildpackge (Ex:- Does svn-buildpackage automatically run lintian checks if
--svn-lintian is not specified or is it on by default), svn-upgrade (Ex:- Does
svn-upgrade automatically assume the -c option and runs 'make clean' or is it to
be specified explicitly?)

thanks
