Most of these patches rely on the last series of patches I posted
        (<11500094252972-git-send-email-normalperson@yhbt.net>).
[PATCH 1/13] git-svn: support -C<num> passing to git-diff-tree
[PATCH 2/13] git-svn: --branch-all-refs / -B support
[PATCH 3/13] git-svn: optimize --branch and --branch-all-ref
[PATCH 4/13] git-svn: support manually placed initial trees from fetch
        These have been around since April or so, but I kept forgetting
        about them since they were on a machine I rarely use.
        All low impact changes.
[PATCH 5/13] git-svn: Move all git-svn-related paths into $GIT_DIR/svn
        Compatibility with 1.0.0 is broken here, in preparation for later
        changes and stuff.
[PATCH 6/13] git-svn: minor cleanups, extra error-checking
[PATCH 7/13] git-svn: add --repack and --repack-flags= options
[PATCH 8/13] git-svn: add --shared and --template= options to pass to init-db
        Simple, low-impact changes.
[PATCH 9/13] git-svn: add some functionality to better support branches in svn
        Three new commands, graft-branches being the most interesting.
        Large patches, but low impact.
[PATCH 10/13] git-svn: add UTF-8 message test
        Low impact change.
[PATCH 11/13] git-svn: add 'log' command, a facsimile of basic `svn log'
        A simple convenience command.  This should help ease communication
        between git-svn and SVN users.  Large patch but low impact.

These last two are very high impact changes. Some bugs were noticed and fixed, but more may have been introduced.

[PATCH 12/13] git-svn: add support for Perl SVN::* libraries
        We're faster, much faster in the common case.  Some hacks to get
        around memory leaks, but we're faster, and that matters to
        people.  There's a huge disk space reduction, too, since we
        don't have to keep working copies around.  Of course, this is
        optional, command-line svn will continue to be supported.
[PATCH 13/13] git-svn: make the $GIT_DIR/svn/*/revs directory obsolete
        Now that we're faster, we can import 100k revisions in a finite
        amount of time.  Which means lots of 41-byte files in one
        directory: gross.  Huge disk space reduction for large
        histories.
