Does anyone run "git svn dcommit" from a shared repository? That is the only command that will trigger this code path.

Given that you lose all the svn metadata if you do "git clone" (or "git clone -s") on a git-svn-managed repository, it's not clear to me that anyone would ever be bitten by this. Counterexamples welcome, of course.

How would you feel about a separate config option to specifically enable auto-pruning, and having "git svn clone" set that option by default? Presumably anyone who is setting up a shared git-svn repository will be up to the task of disabling the option.
