Modify the testing infrastructure to better work with Git for Windows on native Windows. Due to limitations/bugs in the current implementation of Git.pm, git-svn-diff will not run in this environment. However, once those issues are addressed upstream, these changes will make it possible to validate git-svn-diff. When it all comes together, users will be able to run git-svn-diff in a native Windows environment (assuming they have Perl installed somewhere, with a modern Git.pm). Batch or PowerShell scripts will be possible; users can completely avoid Git Bash, if they so desire. Issue: #39

While the commit fixes testing, the script itself is still failing because of upstream bugs. Once git-for-windows/git#1602 & git-for-windows/git#1603 are fixed, testing on native Windows can begin in earnest. |

When running
provein the Windowscmd.execommand prompt, the test suite fails to populate the Git repo, failing with the following error ongit svn fetch- for each and every test:Additionally, the test suite fails to even load
bin/git-svn-diff, as the file type is not recognized by Windows, and therefore Perl is not used to invoke it. Together, these issues make it impossible to test git-svn-diff on native Windows. And that makes it difficult to say, assuredly, whether or not git-svn-diff supports native Windows (though, if the tests are any indication, it probably doesn't).That said, Window users can use Git for Windows with the supplied git-bash executable. The tests both run and pass in that environment.
