git-svn: control destruction order to avoid segfault

It seems necessary to control destruction ordering to avoid a
segfault with SVN 1.9.5 when using "git svn branch".  I've also
reported the problem against libsvn-perl to Debian [Bug #888791],
but releasing the SVN::Client instance can be beneficial anyways to
save memory.
