The index files are used to keep track of the commits that came from
svn, so that git-svn rebase knows where to start from (either when
committing or when doing a fetch from svn).

Unless you used the --no-metadata switch, the files under .git/svn can
be safely removed (at the cost of performance when operating a branch
that has had its index removed).
