Thanks Robert!

It looks alright to me and I've acked and pushed it out to
git://git.bogomips.org/git-svn (crediting Dmitry as the author)

If it's not too much trouble, having a test case to ensure it stays
working with future changes would be nice.

For addendum changes, the standard we seem to have adopted is
first initials above the Signed-off/Acked-by lines:

Subject: [PATCH] git svn: add an option to recode pathnames

Introduce a new option 'svn.pathnameencoding' that instructs git svn to
recode pathnames to a given encoding.  It can be used by windows users
and by those who work in non-utf8 locales to avoid corrupted file names
with non-ascii characters.

[rp: renamed the option and added manpage documentation]
