It's looking good for most users, I think it's safe enough for 1.5.4

I wouldn't mind dropping this test for now.

100% output compatibility with SVN is too difficult to achieve
and IMHO not worth it for commands like `info' and `log'.

I also noticed some race-conditions on this test when running this on my
Centrino laptop (my fastest box, but I rarely use it for git
development) and having git on my USB thumb drive.  I'm pretty sure
these were caused by inconsistencies in handling timestamps on symlinks
vs timestamps on the files they link to.
