Previously, git-svn would just stop importing and refuse to continue.
So allowing the user to enable it would be a problem; too.  I don't
recall the error being easy to distinguish from other errors.

Actually I was wrong on git-svn refusing to continue.  git-svn will
create a regular 100644 file with "link path/to/dest" as its contents.
git-svn only croaks on checksum differences with the blob itself; it
does not have an easy way to verify the mode change => 120000 if it
happened previously.

Thanks for being thorough.
