No reason. Making git-$(scm)import to behave more like git-fetch-pack backend was one of the longstanding items on my wishlist. I think "cvsimport -i" could mostly be usable in the current shape for that, but I do not know about others.

Especially I do not interoperate with any SVN repositories myself, so I cannot scratch your itch.

However, I suspect you could help me with a code I've been struggling with on-and-off lately. Do you still remember unpack-trees code?
