Would it make sense to use another name? "nil", "unknown" or something?

It depends at which point in the history, but that point I guess about
1700 files.

I have a centrino duo 1.83ghz, 2 GB of ram.

hdparm -t shows:

 Timing buffered disk reads:  116 MB in  3.08 seconds =  37.63 MB/sec

I don't know if that's what you are looking for.

Using revisions I've been able to convert the 27000 commits to git in
about 2 hours, but it doesn't work properly, I need to rewrite my
script.
