OK, here goes:

Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: disable broken symlink workaround by default
Even though this will break things for some extremely rare
repositories used by broken Windows clients, it's probably not
worth enabling this by default as it has negatively affected
many more users than it has helped from what we've seen so far.
The extremely rare repositories that have broken symlinks in
them will be silently corrupted in import; but users can still
reenable this option and restart the import.
