[PATCH] git-svn: Make create-ignore use git add -f

From

<1209940390-22622-1-git-send-email-hendeby@isy.liu.se>

When having a svn:ignore that ignores the .gitignore file the -f option to git add must be used to avoid git complaining about adding an ignored file and hence stop the process of creating .gitignores.
