Its a fork of git.git on repo.or.cz; the gitweb can be seen here:

  http://repo.or.cz/w/git/fastimport.git

the clone url is:

  git://repo.or.cz/git/fastimport.git
  http://repo.or.cz/r/git/fastimport.git

The entire code is in fast-import.c. The input stream it consumes comes in on STDIN and is documented in a large comment at the top of the file.

All that's needed is to get data from SVN in a way that it can be fed into git-fastimport.
