These tests are not run by default nor are they enabled in travis-ci.  I
don't know how much testing they get in user or other packager builds.

I've been slowly increasing the test suite usage in fedora builds.  I
ran into this while testing locally with parallel make test.  The
official fedora builds don't run in parallel (yet), as even before I ran
into this issue, builds on the fedora builders randomly failed too
often.  I'm hoping to eventually enable parallel tests by default
though, since it's so much faster.

I'm not sure if there's any objection to changing the variable needed to
enable the tests from SVNSERVE_PORT to GIT_TEST_SVNSERVE.  The way
SVNSERVE_PORT is set in this patch should allow the port to be set
explicitly, in case someone requires that -- and they understand that it
can fail if running parallel tests, of course.  Whether that's a
feature or a bug, I'm not sure. :)

The indentation of lib-git-svn.sh didn't use tabs consistently, in only
a few places, so I cleaned that up first.  I can drop that change if
it's unwanted.
