[PATCH] git-svn: allow "0" in SVN path components

From
EWEric Wong <e@80x24.org>

<20161212110914.GA24736@starla>

Blindly checking a path component for falsiness is unwise, as "0" is false to Perl, but a valid pathname component for SVN (or any filesystem).

Found via random code reading.

  Junio: this bugfix should go to "maint".
