Update git-svn manpage to remove the implication that SVN::* is optional.
Now that git-svn requires the SVN::* Perl library, the manpage doesn't need to describe what happens when you don't have it. Signed-off-by: Steven Grimm <koreth@midwinter.com> Acked-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

BUGS
----
-If you are not using the SVN::* Perl libraries and somebody commits a
-conflicting changeset to SVN at a bad moment (right before you commit)
-causing a conflict and your commit to fail, your svn working tree
-($GIT_DIR/git-svn/tree) may be dirtied. The easiest thing to do is
-probably just to rm -rf $GIT_DIR/git-svn/tree and run 'rebuild'. You
-can avoid this problem entirely by using 'dcommit'.
-
We ignore all SVN properties except svn:executable. Too difficult to
map them since we rely heavily on git write-tree being _exactly_ the
same on both the SVN and git working trees and I prefer not to clutter
