Release Notes: announce that git svn will be phased out
It poses a substantial maintenance burden, what with the need not only to keep maintaining Perl, but also subversion (and apr, apr-util, and swig, and the Perl bindings of subversion). At the same time, less and less `git svn` tickets (and no PRs worth talking about) have trickled in. Therefore it is a good time to say good-bye to `git svn` and send it off to a cozy, relaxing retirement on the beach. It has served us well and can now go on to enjoy life instead of work.
