I think it's much more useful to have the URL that git uses for a 
subversion repo be identical to the URL that svn uses for the same repo.

Of course, users should also be able to use something like 
"svn-http://something"; or "svn:http://something";, but I think we'd get a 
lot of confusion if we don't support a remote.*.url of exactly what a 
svn-using project webpage says their repo url is.
