After reading the whole thread on this, I've using a git checkout of

Good stuff. I am rerunning it to prove (and bench) a complete an
uninterrupted import. So far it's done 4hs 30m, footprint grown to
207MB, 49750 commits. So I think it will be done in approx 30hs on
this single-cpu opteron.

Most commits are small, but there is a handful that are downright
massive -- and we hold all the file list in memory, which I think
explains (most of) the memory growth. I've looked into avoiding
holding the whole filelist in memory, but it involves rewriting the
cvsps output parsing loop, which is better left for a rainy day, with
a test case that doesn't take 30hs to resolve.

cheers,
