I actually considered using fast-import for the whole shebang, but 
decided that I don't yet understand the workings and structure of 
git-svn well enough to make such a big change.

git-svn uses git-hash-object to both determine a file's hash and insert 
it into the index in one go -- can fast-import do this? Or will it just 
put it in the index and not give you the hash back? The latter was my 
impression.
