This is very lightly tested, but describes the format I described in:

I'll be out of town the next few days and I'm not sure how much I'll be
able to follow up on it while I'm gone.  Please test, especially if
you're dealing with a repository where large .rev_db files are a
problem.

Junio: not intended for master just yet, but if you hear nothing but
good things about it, feel free :)

Preliminary tests against the gcc repo are going swimmingly.

Successful git svn rebase against trunk, doing a full git svn fetch
now to build rev_maps for all svn branches/tags.  At halfway through
space has decreased from ~2GB to 17MB for about half of the needed
metadata.

Eric,

I'm very happy with these patches.  For the gcc repo, git-svn metadata
has gone from over 5GB to 33MB.  git-svn fetch/rebase are working fine,
will shout if I see any odd behavior.
