David, I think it is actually a bug in git gc with the --aggressive option...mind you, even if he solves that the format git svn uses for its bi-directional metadata is so space-inefficient Daniel will be crying for other reasons immediately afterwards...4MB for every branch and tag in gcc svn (more than a few thousand).
You only need it around for any branches you are planning on committing to but it is all created during the default git svn import.
