Change git-svn not to impose a limit of 16 parents on a merge.

This limit in git-svn artificially prevents cloning svn repositories
that contain commits with more than 16 merge parents.

The limit was removed from builtin-commit-tree.c for git v1.6.0 in commit
ef98c5cafb3e799b1568bb843fcd45920dc62f16, so there is no need to check for it
it in git-svn.
