Ugh, I didn't review Ray's original commit closely enough to notice
this :x

Perhaps we should migrate users to use YAML storage for this, instead
(we already use YAML for Git::SVN::Memoize::YAML).


Fwiw, I've never been a fan of placeholders only accepted it since it's
off-by-default but it worked well enough for Ray.

My personal philosophy has always been: git svn users should leave
no trace or indication they're using a non-standard SVN client.
