Ha! So, it's subversion and perlxs. I was wondering what was so non-trivial about shipping a perl interpreter with Windows when dscho mentioned it.
Hopefully, I've done a little bit to improve the situation by pushing svnrdump into core (I don't know if it has any users). On the git side, git-remote-testsvn is still a toy (which is a product of many months of work by db + 2x SoCs) compared to git-svn.perl. Yeah, supporting subversion is extraordinarily painful.
