So, an initial run of svn2git just ignoring the people directory took
11.5h here, and gave me a .git dir of ~680M. That's quite
big. I'm re-doing it now with an "authors" file in place, to get
something more usable.

Discussing with KiBi on IRC last night, we're thinking that it's
probably worth splitting the manual off into a separate
project/repo. I'll try doing that too, and see what we get.
