Perl svnimport process is 290MB now.

My top candidates for causing the problem are the fork in the perl
code or the execing of a million tiny git processes.

The key low level git functions could be made into a library to avoid
the need to exec them continuously. The svn functions are libraries
and they hardly show up.

There is ongoing effort to translate git functions into builtins.
Still you would need to translate git-svnimport Perl code into C,
or somehow access git library from Perl.
