I haven't tried with git-core 0.99.7 yet, but judging from git's
changelogs / todolists we might have to think about a different
approach. Ideally we could share ~99% of the objects from mainline,
instead of completely cloning it.

I will care about that next weekend - suggestions, links, ...
are welcome and might speed things up.

Thanks for spotting the problem and coming up with a workaround at the
same time. I've used git-core 0.99.6-0 for importing and recommend using
that version ("git-core 0.99.6-0") for cloning our tree until the issue
has been resolved.
