So, in the end, I was able to do everything with what's currently provided by git fast-import, but one thing would probably make life easier for me: being able to initialize a commit tree from a commit that's not one of the direct parents. Because the data I'm using gives diffs against possibly unrelated commits, and because starting a tree from scratch is actually slow when you have thousands of subdirectories, it would be easier if I could just start from that tree I have a diff against and apply the changes. Without this, there would be a lot of `ls` command emitting involved, and I'm actually not sure that wouldn't be as slow as starting from scratch (haven't implemented yet, so I can't tell). Also, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to know how much to read back from `ls`.
