I think writing data to fast-import is much easier than running
the raw Git commands, especially when you are talking about an

Its a good tool that simply doesn't get enough use, partly because
nobody is using it...
Well,  perhaps they use it *once*,  in that they write a wrapper script for
it and then forget about it.  At least that's what I did.  And the _only_
annoyance was the trailing NL requirement on the delimited "data" statement,
so you don't get much noise/complaints when people use it.

Thanks,
