Comment (by hinder):

 We have git-svn mirrors on http://git.barrywardell.net/.  Most of the time
 spent checking out a new git-svn repository is taken by calling svn once
 per revision to download the history.  We could accelerate this process
 when using GetComponents by checking to see if there is a mirror available
 and using that if it is.  The final stage would always be a "git svn
 rebase" in case the mirror was not fully up-to-date.
