What can be done to speed up cloning from svn.apache.org? It's a Subversion repository with over 700,000 revisions. Many projects stored there started their life in some of the later revisions, and the forward-scanning part of git-svn takes ages.

I wonder if it were faster to search history backwards, starting with the specified path, similar to what "svn log" does?
