Add a script to combine imported Mandriva git reposo with Mageia SVN history.

This script helps to automate a task that is, in a large part, manual.

It takes the git-svn repostitory from the Mandrvia import and guides
you through the task of adapting it and importing the Mageia SVN history
on top.

You first have to pick the trunk revision at which you want to reset the history.
This should be the point in time when Mageia imported the sources.

It will then help you find the correct Mandriva SVN revision to use as your
starting point. It will then synthesize a commit to reset the repository
at the same state as the Mageia subversion at the chosen revision. This
should result in minimal file churn (i.e. it's should be mostly
s/Mandriva/Magiea/ and a few other tweaks). In an ideal world it would contain
no other fixes but in order to minimise bogus git-blame results it should
avoid big 'delete-then-add' commits.

Once this is done, the script then synthesises the internal git-svn metadata
and tricks git-svn into continuing the import.

It will likely break if any branches/tags have the same name in Mageia
as existed in Mandriva. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen :)
