git svn: revert default behavior for --minimize-url

This reverts the --minimize-url behavior change that
appeared recently in commit 0b2af457a49e3b00d47d556d5301934d27909db8
("Fix branch detection when repository root is inaccessible").

However, we now allow the option to be turned off by allowing
"--no-minimize-url" so people with limited-access setups can
still take advantage of the fix in
0b2af457a49e3b00d47d556d5301934d27909db8.

Also document the behavior and default settings of minimize-url
in the manpage for the first time.

This introduces a temporary UI regression to allow t9141 to pass
that will be reverted (fixed) in the next commit.

+	When tracking multiple directories (using --stdlayout,
+	--branches, or --tags options), git svn will attempt to connect
+	to the root (or highest allowed level) of the Subversion
+	repository.  This default allows better tracking of history if

+	place.  Passing '--no-minimize-url' will allow git svn to
+	accept URLs as-is without attempting to connect to a higher
+	level directory.  This option is off by default when only
+	one URL/branch is tracked (it would do little good).
