Depending on the interface, couldn't it be possible to rely on svn for the content of blobs that have already been exported? If so, one would only need a place to stash (1) a mapping from mark numbers to (svn rev, path) pairs and (2) the full text of blobs that have not been exported as part of a rev yet.

Cheers, Jonathan
