Being git, we can generate these very quickly on the fly as
needed, so there's no point in wasting space for these things
for large projects.

Excellent!

For existing repos, I assume the correct thing to do is to just blast
all the existing index files manually?

Yes.  index files inside $GIT_DIR/svn have always been safely deletable
(except while a git-svn is actually running :).

I'll probably work on an automated full migration strategy at some
point (handling rev_db => rev_map, mainly) when I have time.
