After fixing a conflict and a typo in Makefile (patch coming soon) I
tested this with the bcm43xx driver from
svn://svn.berlios.de/bcm43xx/trunk. It seems to work fine. 

Only a minor problem was that I immediately didn't realize the 100
commit limit was intentional. Maybe the error message could improved a
bit. Now it says:

        Exiting due to a memory leak. Repeat, please.

Maybe something like this would be more informative:

        Subversion commit limit reached (to avoid SVN library memory
        leaks). Exiting, but please repeat the command and it will
        continue safely.

But in overall this is a really useful addition to git, I hope it will
be merged soon.
