These variables were added in 16805d3 (t/t91XX-svn: start
removing use of "git-" from these tests, 2008-09-08) so that
running:
git grep git-
would return fewer hits. At the time, we were transitioning
away from the use of the "dashed" git-foo form.
That transition has been over for years, and grepping for
"git-" in the test suite yields thousands of hits anyway
(all presumably false positives).
With their original purpose gone, these variables serve only
to obfuscate the tests. Let's get rid of them.

In certain situations it may be necessary to manually remap an svn
repostitory UUID. For example:
o--- [git-svn clone]
/
[origin svn repo]
\
o--- [svnsync clone]
Imagine that only "git-svn clone" and "svnsync clone" are made available
to external users. Furthur, "git-svn clone" contains only trunk, and for
reasons unknown, "svnsync clone" is missing the revision properties that
normally provide the origin svn repo's UUID.
A git user who has cloned the "git-svn clone" repo now wishes to use
git-svn to pull in the missing branches from the "synsync clone" repo.
In order for git-svn to get the history correct for those branches,
it needs to know the origin svn repo's UUID. Hence rewriteUUID.
