git-svn: add support for --first-parent

When git-svn uses git-log to find embedded 'git-svn-id'-lines in commit
messages, it can get confused when local history contains merges with
other git-svn branches. But if --first-parent is supplied to git-log,
working_head_info() will only see 'branch-local' commits and thus the
first commit containing a 'git-svn-id' line should refer to the correct
subversion branch.

+These commands tries to detect the upstream subversion branch by means of
+the embedded 'git-svn-id' line in commit messages. When --first-parent is
+specified, git-svn only follows the first parent of each commit, effectively
+ignoring commits brought into the current branch through merge-operations.
