Among them, I could be talked into keeping git-export on the
condition that we will add a counterpart git-import that can
read git-export output and recreate an identical repository

especially since "git-whatchanged" is far more useful for
everyday use.

[Footnote]

*1* which I think actually is impossible without fixing
git-export first so that it exports the initial commit.  I may
be mistaken.

Given that you can just tar the whole repository up and handle it that way,
all that work makes little sense.

Note that bk export (and cg-export) copy the current snapshot into a
directory or tarball, so this doesn't do what I'd expected.
