[RFC PATCH 0/3] Towards a Git-to-SVN bridge

Hi,

Over the last couple of days, I've been working on a parser that converts a fast-import stream into a SVN dumpfile. So far, it's very rough and works minimally for some common fast-import commands. However, the major roadblock is persisting blobs: in this implementation, they're persisted as an array of strbufs. This is very memory-intensive and not scalable at all. With some valuable insight from Jonathan on IRC, I've decided to try re-implementing fast-export to eliminate blob marks and produce them inline instead [1].

Comments are much appreciated.
