IIRC then 'M 040000' wants a tree object, not a commit object, so
you'd have to do

	ls <commit> ""
	M 040000 <tree> ""

That's what I'm planning to try ; Would doing:
M 040000 <tree> ""
M 0644 <blob> some/path
D other/path

work?

Yes, that should work fine.  That's how contrib/svn-fe/svn-fe.c deals
with 'Node-copyfrom-rev' in Subversion dumpfiles, for what it's worth.
