I do not think that it is a good idea to use "--no-anything" for
something that is not a boolean.

I can buy "--old-default-prefix", or "--empty-prefix", but running
"git svn --prefix ''" (or "--prefix=''") would be OK and logically
consistent anyway (i.e. the option tells us what string to add after
"refs/remotes/", and the old default that everybody hated were to
use an empty string), so...
