This thread has now proven without any shadow of a doubt that I can
be an idiot sometimes.

In this case my patch didn't apply because it was 3rd in a series;
I had two of those patches but lacked the third (a simple cleanup
patch).  Redoing that simple cleanup let everything apply.


I've pushed the changes out to repo.or.cz:

	http://repo.or.cz/w/git/fastimport.git

in the window-mapping branch.  Note that this is based on a slightly
older version of Git (v1.4.2).  There are two "tuneables" on line 376
of sha1_file.c, this is the maximum amount of memory (in bytes) to
denote to packs and the maximum chunk size of each pack (in bytes).
I planned on making these configuration options but didn't get to
that yet.
