Even though this will break things for some extremely rare repositories
used by broken Windows clients, it's probably not worth enabling this by
default as it has negatively affected many more users than it has helped
from what we've seen so far.
The extremely rare repositories that have broken symlinks in them will be
silently corrupted in import; but users can still reenable this option and
restart the import.

Since dbc6c74d0858d77e61e092a48d467e725211f8e9, git-svn has had
an expensive check for broken symlinks that exist in some
repositories. This leads to a heavy performance hit on
repositories with many empty blobs that are not supposed to be
symlinks.
The workaround is enabled by default; and may be disabled via:
git config svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround false

Broken SVN clients generate empty files with the svn:special set
to '*'. This attempts to denote a symlink pointing to a file
with an empty path (""), which cannot be generated on a POSIX
system.
Thus, we mimic the behavior of svn(1) and create a zero-byte
file in our tree.
