Not sure how large your snapshots are -- a second sounds like a long
time for git operations. While it is a bit more complex, you _can_
operate directly on the index, and the "snapshot" never needs to hit
the disk as such during your migration.
Have a look at how the cvsimport script works for an example.
cheers.
