You can have the workdir anywhere you like by using the core.worktree
setting. So, if you mind the size requirements you can put it onto some
fast tempdir (tmpfs, say). In fact, if all you do is "git svn fetch"
then git svn may not even notice a missing worktree (would have to try).
"git svn rebase" does need a worktree.

In fact, Ram's GSoC project started off with svnrdump which is now part
of the subversion code base (i.e. in their trunk). It is basically
"svndump remote", i.e. a client outputting svn dump format.
