+ [SRU] svn2git crashes due to API change in ruby 3.2

** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+ svn2git is completely unusable. It will immediately when any user executes it.
+ The error will be:
+ 
+ $ svn2git
+ /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/svn2git/migration.rb:58:in `parse': undefined 
method `exists?' for File:Class (NoMethodError)
+ 
+       if File.exists?(File.expand_path(DEFAULT_AUTHORS_FILE))
+              ^^^^^^^^
+ Did you mean?  exist?
+       from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/svn2git/migration.rb:14:in `initialize'
+       from /usr/bin/svn2git:26:in `new'
+       from /usr/bin/svn2git:26:in `<main>'
+ 
+ 
+ This is cause by Ruby3.2 upgrade in Ubuntu as the API (which was deprecated) 
has been removed now.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ 
+ sudo apt install svn2git git-core git-svn ruby
+ mkdir test
+ cd test
+ svn2git svn://repo.hu/fungw/trunk -v -m --rootistrunk
+ 
+ After the above command completes:
+ 
+ 'git log' to confirm that the svn is now available as a git repo
+ locally.
+ 
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ There is a small change in the code to use File.exist() instead of 
File.exists() which has been removed from Ruby-3.2. Looking at the code, the 
new API is using stat() or fstat() system calls but the previous API had a 
different implementation. So, there can be a risk that the new API does not 
work same way as the old one.
+ But considering that currently svn2git does not even start so as a worst case 
scenario if the fix causes some regression then the user will not see any new 
issue but will continue to see the same problem as is now.
+ 
+ 
+ [ Other Info ]
+ 
+ The issue is not seen in Debian yet as Debian is still using the old
+ Ruby-3.1
+ 
+ [ Original Bug Description ]
+ 
+ 
  svn2git will crash with the following error message:
  
  /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/svn2git/migration.rb:58:in `parse': undefined
  method `exists?' for File:Class (NoMethodError)
  
  Due to API change, `exists` -> `exist`
