No reason.  Making git-$(scm)import to behave more like
git-fetch-pack backend was one of the longstanding items on my
wishlist.  I think "cvsimport -i" could mostly be usable in the
current shape for that, but I do not know about others.

Especially I do not interoperate with any SVN repositories
myself, so I cannot scratch your itch.

However, I suspect you could help me with a code I've been
struggling with on-and-off lately.  Do you still remember
unpack-trees code?
