I was very surprised to find that git-svn does not in fact default
to --repack. I firmly believe it should.

I believe so too. And nowadays there's "git gc --auto", which was made
for occasions such as this, so it should be a breeze to implement. The
overhead might be low enough that it can be called after _every_
imported revision.

Careful.  I made the same mistake and it had to be corrected
with e0cd252eb0ba6453acd64762625b004aa4cc162b.

"gc --auto" after every 1000 or so feels like a good default and
I would agree that would be a real fix to a real usability bug.

Patches?
