The memory consumption does seem to go up a good deal after r48xxx -ish (the 
total
being about 67xxx-ish now), when there are a fair number of branches. Seeing as
you seem to be able to make the memory consumption drops further,
I'll rebuild git with dropping/adding those patches now.

I also just realised "/usr/bin/time -v git svn fetch --all" also includes the 
periodic auto-
garbage collection from git itself if fetching more than a number of commits,
so may not be accurate once git svn's memory consumption drops below
a certain level. Is there any way of coping with that?

I made a 3rd clone yesterday - it took 8 hours 15 minutes, and 
        Command being timed: "git svn fetch --all"
        User time (seconds): 6897.80
        System time (seconds): 18853.08
        Percent of CPU this job got: 86%
        Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 8:14:00
...
        Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 675436

and fetching the next 8 commits:

$ /usr/bin/time -v git svn fetch --all
        M       doc/NEWS.Rd
r66871 = 0a7f50fc04dee174229513a0d80fecfcd12975ca (refs/remotes/trunk)
...
        M       doc/manual/R-exts.texi
r66879 = ede68f65df714c3ba283579d85105393c1eccc80 (refs/remotes/trunk)
Auto packing the repository in background for optimum performance.
See "git help gc" for manual housekeeping.
        Command being timed: "git svn fetch --all"
        User time (seconds): 856.82
        System time (seconds): 29.78
        Percent of CPU this job got: 98%
        Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 15:03.39
...
        Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 791088

and quite similar against the 2nd clone, but against the first clone (which 
were created
by fetching every few days over a few years):

        Command being timed: "git svn fetch --all"
        User time (seconds): 518.00
        System time (seconds): 28.62
        Percent of CPU this job got: 98%
        Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 9:16.84
...
        Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 403160

So it seems the first clone is rather different from the recent ones. I haven't 
got round to compare
the branches yet - it is actually easier than I thought, since I only need to 
compare
the branch HEADs. (I already mentioned that trunk is different, due to a blank 
vs 3 word
commit message about 2 years ago - I reckon I might see similar issues in the 
other branches
- I'll go and write a script to check that now).

All recent fetch were done with git 2.1.0 patched with the 6 patches I 
mentioned, on fedora 20
x86_64.

BTW, I have been meaning to ask - are you the same "Eric Wong" who maintained
some chinese packages on Debian some years ago? :-)
