git-svn: let 'dcommit $rev' work on $rev instead of HEAD

'git svn dcommit' takes an optional revision argument, but the meaning
of it was rather scary.  It completely ignored the current state of
the HEAD, only looking at the revisions between SVN and $rev.  If HEAD
was attached to $branch, the branch lost all commits $rev..$branch in
the process.

Considering that 'git svn dcommit HEAD^' has the intuitive meaning
"dcommit all changes on my branch except the last one", we change the
meaning of the revision argument.  git-svn temporarily checks out $rev
for its work, meaning that

* if a branch is specified, that branch (_not_ the HEAD) is rebased as
part of the dcommit,

* if some other revision is specified, as in the example, all work
happens on a detached HEAD and no branch is affected.

        It is recommended that you run 'git-svn' fetch and rebase (not
        pull or merge) your commits against the latest changes in the
        SVN repository.

        This is advantageous over 'set-tree' (below) because it produces
        cleaner, more linear history.
