I hacked on this some more and got something pretty usable (for me). It
operates on a git-svn clone of the whole repository, propagates commits
to different paths if referenced by an external, rearranges the tree to
isolate each svn branch on its own head, reparents the branches to their
proper branch points, and converts any tags branches to real git tags.

Don't know what the netequitte is on this list regarding attachments for
this sort of thing, so I posted it here:
http://github.com/jkoleszar/git-svn-internal-externals/tree/master

It's not as fast as I'd like, but it's workable, at least for small
repositories. Bottleneck seems to be git-update-index (100s of ms/call)
but I haven't looked into it too much. I'm sure I could be smarter in
some of my pipelines too. Some numbers (2246 revisions, ~15k files,
Core2 6600 @ 2.4GHz, tmpfs):

Hope this is useful for someone!
