I've been hoping to find some time to do something with the fetcher to
try and fix this corner we've ended up pinned into.

Ideally I'd like to see both gcc and eglibc using git, we have git in
ASSUME_PROVIDED and everything is optimal.

I'm not going to reach the release point without doing something about
this but I would like to stick with git if we can possibly help it.

Having to build subversion-native for critical path components is a
major pain and performance issue.

Cheers,

Richard
