This adds ability to do import "in chunks" (default 1000 revisions), after each chunk git repo will be repacked. The option -R is used to change default value of chunk size (or how often repository will repacked).

 Formerly, this option controlled how many revisions to pull,
 due to SVN memory leaks. (These have been worked around.)

+The default value is 1000. git-svnimport will do import in chunks of 1000
