As of git-for-windows/MINGW-packages#187, Git for Windows no longer includes `git svn` in its installers and portable Git editions. As a consequence, the deprecation note is no longer necessary. Even worse: Since the recommendation for users who want (or at least need) to continue using `git svn` is to use the MSYS2 package instead, and that MSYS2 package is built from Git for Windows' source code, they would now be bothered by a note that they do not need. So let's drop that deprecation note. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
