This appears to hammer GitHub's API pretty aggressively. I attempted to import https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach and a few hours later my API limit is exceeded.

Seems bad.

It's pretty conservative with the API usage, but if you have thousands of pull requests, issues and branches, it will probably hit the limit of 5k requests an hour on first import. After initial import, API usage is very light.

You're the first person to have this problem, but I'll add some logic to throttle the request rate before we run through your allocation. The trade-off is that it will slow down import of pull requests and issues.
