So the new version should take about 20 MB of memory and should
produce a valid pack and index in the same time as it does only
the pack now.  Plus it won't generate duplicates.

I did a run with this and it works great.

Great.

I'm staring at the cvs2svn code now trying to figure out how to modify
it without rewriting everything. I may just leave it all alone and
build a table with cvs_file:rev to sha-1 mappings. It would be much
more efficient to carry sha-1 throughout the stages but that may
require significant rework.

Probably a good thing. If the patch isn't intrusive it has a better
chance of merging well over time and of being merged upstream -- ;-)
