Shouldn't it be very simple? All you need is a filter that understands the fast-import syntax and can convert

	commit refs/heads/topic
	...
	M 100644 inline "foo/bar"

to

	commit toplevel
	...
	M 100644 inline "branches/topic/foo/bar"

and

	ls topic@1 "foo/bar"

to

	ls r1 "branches/topic/foo/bar"
