Given that the tests of remote-hg as in git://github.com/msysgit/git's
'devel' branch run just fine without additional dependencies (which
probably triggered the not-quite-constructive and unnecessarily-flaming
"bloated" comment of Felipe), and given that the code in said branch is
well-tested and exercised by daily use, and given the fact that my major
concern was not understood (and probably not addressed), and also given
the fact that Sverre indicated that he could finalize the work as a 20%
project, I decided that other projects I have to do unfortunately have a
too-high priority to take care of testing and measuring the performance of
the patch series that is discussed in this thread.

Sorry,
Johannes

P.S.: I would still recommend to have a detailed look at the 'devel'
branch, in particular the commits starting with "fast-export: do not refer
to non-existing marks" and ending with "t5801: skip without hg". My
understanding is that it was completely ignored after a brief and maybe
too-cursory look. In the least, it has a couple of lessons we learnt the
hard way, and if git.git is dead set on duplicating the work, making these
mistakes again could be avoided by learning from our lessons.
