Hi,

I wonder why those "git-update-index" calls seem to be (assuming I read 
the perl correctly) done only a few files at a time. We can do a hundreds 
in one go, but it seems to want to do just ten files or something at the 
same time.

No, fifty.

I simply was too lazy to count the actual filenames' lengths. ;-)

I think cvsimport predates that option, but these days that loop
can be optimized by feeding --index-info from standard input.
