`git svn` is implemented in Perl (which is supposedly bundled with your
Git package, but I'm not sure), and "SVN.pm" is a Perl module (a
library written in Perl, ".pm" stands for "Perl Module").

@INC is an internal variable used by Perl to locate its modules.
Its contents is partially inferred from the Perl's installation
location and partially from the environment.

This [1] should help you get started with affecting @INC.
