```
Given an SVN repo file:///tmp/svntest/repo, trying to commit changes
to a file proj/trunk/foo.txt in that repo with this command line

  git svn commit-diff -r2 HEAD^ HEAD file:///tmp/svntest/repo/proj/trunk

gave the error message

  Filesystem has no item: File not found: transaction '2-6', path
  '/proj/trunk/proj/trunk/foo.txt'

This fixes the duplication.

I really don't have a clue as to why this was broken, but the patch
fixes the problem for me, and doesn't break the tests. I got the idea
from dcommit, which is setting svn_path to '' unconditionally.

Hardly anybody uses commit-diff directly :)

It was a low-level plumbing command that I used to implement the
original version of dcommit in.

Yes. I was looking into how to call git-svn from StGit, and dcommit is
a bit too smart to be easily scriptable.
