I'm sure there are better filesystems to try for this kind of insane schenario, but at the same time, I really cannot imaging that the 411,000 files is a "normal" thing. There _must_ be some way to have SVN not do that in the first place (or git-svnimport). Is this what happened when the SVN people started using fsfs?
