git-svnimport will not pack incrementally as it runs, so it might get pretty large. git-svn offers and incremental repack every x commits (I chose 1000) and that did wonders for the import time for me. Otherwise it will create a huge number of files before the final pack.

Danny, which of these matches what you've done with mercurial? Ollie
