4c58a7111d git-svn: allow disabling expensive broken symlink checks
Since dbc6c74d08, git-svn has had
an expensive check for broken symlinks that exist in some
repositories.  This leads to a heavy performance hit on
repositories with many empty blobs that are not supposed to be
symlinks.

The workaround is enabled by default; and may be disabled via:

  git config svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround false

dbc6c74d08 git-svn: handle empty files marked as symlinks in SVN
Broken SVN clients generate empty files with the svn:special set
to '*'.  This attempts to denote a symlink pointing to a file
with an empty path (""), which cannot be generated on a POSIX
system.

Thus, we mimic the behavior of svn(1) and create a zero-byte
file in our tree.
