Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: better attempt to handle broken symlink updates

This is a followup to 7fc35e0e94782bbbefb920875813519038659930,
(workaround a for broken symlinks in SVN).

Since broken SVN clients can commit svn:special files without
the magic "link " prefix, this can affect delta application
when we update the broken svn:special file.  So now we fall
back and retry the delta application on symlinks if having
a "link " prefix fails.

Our behavior differs from svn(1) (v1.5.1) slightly:

  When a svn:special file is created w/o a "link " prefix, svn
  will create a regular file (mode 100644 to git) with the
  contents of the blob as-is.

  Our behavior is to continue creating the symlink (mode 120000
  to git) with the contents of the blob as-is.  While this
  differs from current svn(1) behavior, this is easier and more
  efficient to implement (and the correctness of the svn(1) is
  debatable, since it's a workaround for a bug in the first
  place).

More information on this SVN bug is described here:
  http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2692
