The "more levels" approach was certainly an option early on, when we
discussed how the objects should be spread out.
It was basically made a non-issue by the pack-files. These days, the rule
is really more along the lines of "if you ever have more than a few
thousand files, you've not repacked properly".
The git-svnimport script obviously doesn't do it right, but it should be
trivial to fix. For the git cvsimporter, the fix was literally to just do
$commitcount++;
..
if (($commitcount & 1023) == 0) {
system("git repack -a -d");
}
when committing and that was it. It doesn't get much simpler than that,
but the svnimporter just hasn't done it yet.
