[PATCH] Quick Fix

Okay, it turns out that svn-apply and svn-unapply work with git too (with the
exception of an error I ran into with that I attempted to fix svn-unapply). 
Note that this always jumps back to the repository root to apply to patch. 
This is compatible with svn-create-patch.  The optimal solution would be to do
something like what pkasting suggested, to walk up the tree and try each
directory to see if the patch will apply from there.  This would work not only
with patches made from the root, but also manual svn patches that are created
in the middle of the repository.

This was working in my test cases!
