I don't know about building git for windows, but since the git-svn command is a perl script, it might be easier to just patch that file. I think you can find the path where git-svn is installed using: git --exec-path

For this one-liner, I'd just manually apply it.

(If you want to use 'git apply' or the patch command, you'll have to edit the patch to adjust the name of the file, as it's git-svn.perl in the git tree. The .perl suffix is dropped in the installed version.)

Hopefully that makes it easier for you to test Eric's patch.
