Hmm, couldn’t one just leave out some pool_init() calls?

Of course, that would make pool_init() and related functionality unused,
and we may or may not want to remove it while at it.

For incremental imports, I suspect the standalone svn-fe is going to
need to invoke ‘git fast-import’ itself, which implies knowledge of
the location of the .git directory.

For undeltified nonincremental imports, there is no problem. :)

David, would this be okay? (for the short svn-fe.c file only)

Worth documenting indeed.

Thanks again.
