It took a day and half to get the svn dump parsing right (it's an
egregiously bad format) but only a couple of hours to write the
fast-import backend.

I'm surprised you think that; I find the svn dump format quite easy and
straightforward.  (Of course it assumes some Subversionisms, like easy
deep directory copies, which I can imagine would be annoying in other
contexts.)  What don't you like about the format?

Is there good doco and samples for it? I wouldn't mind doing things by
way of an SVN dump parser.
