I did look at it, but there are some issues. For starters it seems to
be using extensively the manifest, which would probably make it very
slow. Also, it seems to be keeping the trees of all the revisions.

Superficially it seemed to have issues so I didn't try it, but I also,
I can't stand Python code =/ Do you know how long does it takes to
import the OE repo?

Anyway, the patches I did for git fast-import should also help your
script if there is a plan to stop using the manifest.
