[PATCH] git-svnimport: Don't assume that copied files haven't changed

From

Message-ID
<20060407060609.9487.83229.stgit@backpacker.hemma.treskal.com>

Don't assume that a file that SVN claims was copied from somewhere else is bit-for-bit identical with its parent, since SVN allows changes to copied files before they are committed.

Without this fix, such copy-modify-commit operations causes the imported file to lack the "modify" part -- that is, we get subtle data corruption.
