This patch is by no means complete - I still need to consider the edge cases. It does achieve the basic requirements for simplifying svn-fe. The vcs-svn library currently maintains an in-memory index of all paths in all revisions. Introducing an `ls` command to fast-import allows this responsibility to be delegated. Most importantly, it will allow access to the tree data on demand which is needed for incremental imports.

The two features that svn-fe will need are access the the current in-flight commit and to previous commits by mark.
