It occurs to me that Sam Vilain may well have something valuable to
say about this series, having implemented something similar[1].

Sam, this series adds an svndiff0 parser for git to use in parsing
v3 dumps (which are way easier to produce with remote access to an
svn repository than v2 dumps).  The beginning of the series is at [2],
though that cover letter is out of date: now, modulo any new bugs
I've introduced with this reroll, it is known to successfully apply
all the deltas involved in a complete dump of the ASF repo.

All I did was make the module lazy - version 0.02 was by 唐鳳, any
detailed knowledge I had of the binary format fell out of my head pretty
quickly :-)
