My repository is here:

  http://www.spearce.org/projects/scm/git.git

branch 'refs/heads/sp/fastpack'.

I'd appreciate it if folks didn't clone directly from me but instead
used an existing clone to pull the branch down into.  Its based on
a fairly recent 'next' branch.  Anything not available via Junio's
'next' on kernel.org is loose objects in this repository and are
specific to my fast-import work.

Documentation of the protocol used to stuff a pack is in the
header of fast-import.c.  Its a relatively trivial stream format.
It should be quite simple to generate a random large project and
pipe it into fast-import to get a resulting pack to play with.

I don't have Jon's cvs2svn code and I don't know if its ready for
public consumption yet.  git-fast-import however looks like its
almost there, so I'm making the URL publicly available for those
that may be interested in it.

[Junio: please do the lazy thing and don't pull this into Git just
 yet, I don't think this branch is ready for that, not even for pu.]
