git svn isn't strictly necessary for all webkit-patch operations.  For example, I don't think the EWS bots have git-svn installed (since they never need to talk to svn).  Maybe we should run this check before trying to use git svn ?

Adam is right; we shouldn't require git-svn for everything, just for the things that need it.
