Hi,
  I am trying to improve git svn's performance according to some profiling data.As the data showed,_rev_list subroutine and rebuild subroutine are consuming a large proportion of time.So I improve _rev_list's performance by memoize its results,and avoid subprocess invocation by memoize rebuild subroutine's key data.Here's my patch:

Hi, I'm interested in this.  How much did performance improve by
(and how many revisions is the repository)>

However, I cannot accept the patch in the current state.

The commit message is inadequate; and you need a Signed-off-by and follow
existing coding convention/style.  See Documentation/SubmittingPatches
and Documentation/CodingGuidelines for more info.

Some comments inline...

Please no extraneous whitespace changes.

We prefer snake_case variables, not camelCase.

Please use tabs for indentation to match surrounding code
(most of git is tabs).

Thanks.
