The indexes are just normal git index files, one for each branch and
tag. They're used to speed up importing new commits to the branch or
tag.
My guess is that the performance impact of deleting them between
git-svn runs would be very small, since recreating an index is cheap,
and we'd still get the speed benefit when importing several revisions
to a branch in the same run. And it'd be a very small code change too,
I think.
If nothing else, it's insane to keep the index for the tags. :-)
