Junio, please pull

  git://repo.or.cz/git/jrn.git svn-fe

to get the following changes since commit ec014eac0e9e6f30cbbca616090fa2ecf74797e7:

  Git 1.7.5 (2011-04-23 23:36:32 -0700)

up to c5bcbcdcfa1e2a1977497cb3a342c0365c8d78d6:

  vcs-svn: reset first_commit_done in fast_export_init (2011-06-23 10:04:36 -0500)

I'd even be okay with pulling this for v1.7.9, but application for the
next release would also be fine with me.  It simplifies svn-fe a great
deal and fulfills a longstanding wish: support for dumps with deltas
in them.  The cost is that commandline usage of the svn-fe tool
becomes a little more complicated since it no longer keeps state
itself but instead reads blobs back from fast-import in order to copy
them between revisions and apply deltas to them.

Thanks, but will pull after 1.7.9 that was scheduled to happen today.

By the way, we should have done a GPG keysigning at the last GitTogether.
The above paragraph ("The series simplifies svn-fe a great deal...") could
have been recorded in the message body of a signed tag, and we could have
started eating our own dogfood, now even Linus and his lieutenants are
using the upcoming 1.7.9 feature.
