git-svn: don't attempt to minimize URLs by default

For tracking branches and tags, git-svn prefers to connect
to the root of the repository or at least the level that
houses branches and tags as well as trunk.  However, users
that are accustomed to tracking a single directory have
no use for this feature.

As pointed out by Junio, users may not have permissions to
connect to connect to a higher-level path in the repository.

While the current minimize_url() function detects lack of
permissions to certain paths _after_ successful logins, it
cannot effectively determine if it is trying to access a
login-only portion of a repo when the user expects to
connect to a part where anonymous access is allowed.

For people used to the git-svnimport switches of
--trunk, --tags, --branches, they'll already pass the
repository root (or root+subdirectory), so minimize URL
isn't of too much use to them, either.

For people *not* used to git-svnimport, git-svn also
supports:

 git svn init --minimize-url \
  --trunk http://repository-root/foo/trunk \
  --branches http://repository-root/foo/branches \
  --tags http://repository-root/foo/tags

And this is where the new --minimize-url command-line switch
comes in to allow for this behavior to continue working.

git-svn: add test for useSvnsyncProps

These tests are very similar as the ones I used for useSvmProps
and expect the same results because both dumps were generated
from the same original repo.

git-svn: fix useSvmProps, hopefully for the last time

svm:mirror is not useful at all for us.  Parts of the old unit
test were broken and based on my misunderstanding of the
svm:mirror property.

When we read svm:source; make sure we correctly handle the '!'
in it: it is used to separate the path of the repository root
from the virtual path within the repository.  We don't need
to make that distinction, honestly!

We also ensure that subdirectories are also mirrored with the
correct URL if we're using useSvmProps.

We have a new test that uses dumped repo that was really
created using SVN::Mirror to avoid ambiguities and
mis-understandings about the svm: properties.

Note: trailing whitespace in the svm.dump file is unfortunately
a reality and required by SVN; so please ignore it when applying
this patch.

Also, ensure that the -R/--remote/--svn-remote flag is always
in effect if explicitly passed via the command-line.  This
allows us to track logically different mirrors sharing the
same URL (probably common with SVN::Mirror/SVK users).
