Yes... this is all in the past tense now :) ... should be "did not 
override the default ssh". I'll fix it if I have to resend the patch for 
a different reason.

Dscho, The *correct* amount of backslashes is 1 (per dir) - same as used 
with GIT_SSH. If the user has set SVN_SSH but not GIT_SSH (most likely 
without escaping \), then fixing up SVN_SSH for use with git-svn is not 
a bad thing.

I did this change to retain existing behavior (using SVN_SSH to 
override) even when user doesn't know the \\ quirk - or if the user has 
set it for some other non-msys version of svn.
