If it wasn't clear, all tests pass with every patch using SVN 1.6.
"Compile on its own" wasn't entirely clear. I meant that Git::SVN doesn't
depend on git-svn to set its defaults. Git::SVN still depends on it for A LOT
of other things, and will likely remain that way for a long time, so it's
kinda splitting hairs to worry about it.
4/4 was done last to ensure the phase of git-svn when the Git::SVN globals are
initialized remains basically the same. If they were moved into Git::SVN
before it was split out they'd be getting initialized *after* the git-svn
command has been executed. I didn't want to expend the energy or risk the
bugs to get around that.

Originally I tried to refactor new(). It rapidly turned into a lot of work on
undocumented code with no unit tests for no use to the SVN 1.7 issue for one
variable. This is a very cheap way to let far more important work move
forward and it has a very narrow effect. It could be made a Git::SVN global
that git-svn grabs at, but that's not really any better. I'd rather leave it be.
