Mercurial repository set up for GCC that mirrors SVN

[Harvey Harrison]

git-svnimport will not pack incrementally as it runs, so it might get
pretty large.  git-svn offers and incremental repack every x commits
(I chose 1000) and that did wonders for the import time for me.
Otherwise it will create a huge number of files before the final pack.

Cheers,

Harvey
