Add support for --password option

[edpbx]

git-svn doesn't support yet but it will!

@nirvdrum it would be really helpful if you could merge this so it's authoritative. svn itself supports it, and soon enough git-svn will.

[nirvdrum]

I take it's backwards-compatible? No-op is fine. I just don't want to raise exceptions on people running older versions of git-svn.

[edpbx]

It will cause some kind of problem if people specify a --password and installed svn doesn't support that. However, surely no harm done?

[edpbx]

Remember, that exception could only happen if people

• have a pre-2008 (at least) copy of SVN
• specify a --password

Is this really a problem? The error message will surely be very clear.

[nirvdrum]

That should be fine then. I have a full matrix of versions I end up testing against. Since Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is now rolling out of its support phase, that will bump a bunch of people up version-wise anyway.

Can you please make a documentation addition for the new option as well?

[edpbx]

@nirvdrum Done!

[nirvdrum]

Thanks!

I'll try to take a pass through some other stuff this weekend and do a new release.
