git-filter-branch can be fast or slow, depending on what you do. We are 
working with a fast machine, doing everything on ram, and still it takes 
time. I exaggerated with the "days", it's actually only 2 days.
We have to do a couple of things: Fix the authors, change the commit 
message (change the git-svn line), go through all the commits in the 
repo finding historic locations of repos and fixing up history to work 
nicely. It's computing time. It's not our fault. We were also surprised 
by the time it takes.
Seriously, try this on your own and you'll see.

We'll take a look at solving that. Very annoying that you guys did it 
like that, but OK. :)

As for barbieri getting credit for moving the repo - while he does 
deserve some credit, we'll fix it to handle things correctly.
