Ouch. That sounds like it.

Is this literally what SVN does normally? That's just insane. I mean, even 
git tried to at least hash out the files (and yeah, admittedly even that 
worked less well than I was hoping for, but I at least fixed it within 
just a few weeks through the pack mechanism).

Or is that 411,000 files a result of how git-svnimport does things, rather 
than some basic SVN approach to live: does it perhaps end up checking out 
each file under an individual temporary name?
