Whoa.

fast-import was first and foremost a very simple way to get stuff done.  
Is it absolutely necessary to complicate that?

I mean, I don't know about git-svn, but shouldn't it be 
relatively easy to use fast-import to import from Subversion once the 
information is extracted from Subversion?

Ciao,
