[GSoC update] git-remote-svn: Week 8

Hi,

I've been very productive over the last few days. The good news is
that I finally managed to a (badly-formatted, broken, abridged) dump
of the text and properties. The bad news is that the program only
seems to work by accident- it segfaults all over the place without
reason, I don't know what to make of the backtraces, and documentation
is thin as usual. I plan to go back in history to do a major cleanup/
refactor before proceeding, now that I've learnt how to trigger the
dumping.
 
I got this far mainly because of the help I got from Subversion
developers like Daniel- A big thank you to them. The plan is to finish
this, get it reviewed/ acked by Daniel and the other Subversion
developers, and test it with David's exporter before merging it into
git.git. Once it's merged, I plan to write a series for Subversion,
get it merged there, and remove it from git.git in favor of simply
linking to the feature. The reason for this roundabout dance is
simple- things are much easier to test in Git-land.

Another thing that I think we should give some thought- how do I get this merged into git.git? Should I post a single patch with the (probably 1000-line) dump editor? In my opinion, the revision history is very valuable- can we get a clean series of 6~8 patches merged instead?
