Ok.

How about the git-svn SVN 1.7 fix in general?  All of these patch sets I'm
sending build on one another, is that going to be a problem?  It's going to
come in about six parts.

1) Makefile.PL .pm auto-find
2) Extract Git::SVN from git-svn
3) Extract the other modules from git-svn
4) Create and use accessors for paths and urls
5) Make the accessors canonicalize
6) Fix misc canonicalization issues

This is #1.  #2 was submitted last night.  #3 will be coming today.  #4 should
probably wait until #3 is at least in pu and I stop moving around large chunks
of code.

#1 to #4 are all refactorings with no functional changes.  #5 and #6 will be
tricky to provide as small commits while keeping all tests passing in SVN 1.6.
 We'll see when I get there after doing the rebasing necessary to separate #4,
#5 and #6.
