Turns out the stuff is all there, and the tests doing file renames and
dcomit-ting them do exist (t9115-git-svn-dcommit-funky-renames.sh for
one).

However, the httpd setup is seriously broken; I haven't managed to get
it to run on my Fedora 20 with apache 2.4.6.  Apparently git-svn tests
(almost) never get executed against an http-based repository; even
those who don't set NO_SVN_TESTS get them run against file-based
repository and thus don't trigger the error.

Someone with better apache-foo needs to take a look into that.  Once
that is sorted out I believe the tests will start triggering the bug.

Meanwhile I assume that the patch doesn't need to include an extra testcase.

Roman.
