[PATCH] git-svn: Simplify calculation of GIT_DIR

Since git-rev-parse already checks for the $GIT_DIR environment
variable and that it returns an actual git repository, there is no
need to repeat the checks again here.

This also fixes a problem where git-svn did not work in cases where
.git was a file with a gitdir: link.

Here you delete a chdir to the top-level directory, just as you deleted
the comment above, yet in the commit message you don't explain why this
isn't necessary anymore. Doesn't the rest of the code still assume that
it's running at the top-level dir?

No, in fact it is still necessary.

Yes, you're right. I will restore the chdir and submit a new patch.
