David, I think it is actually a bug in git gc with the --aggressive
option...mind you, even if he solves that the format git svn uses
for its bi-directional metadata is so space-inefficient Daniel will
be crying for other reasons immediately afterwards...4MB for every
branch and tag in gcc svn (more than a few thousand).

You only need it around for any branches you are planning on committing
to but it is all created during the default git svn import.
