The format of the marks is as close as possible to the format of the

Yay.

i.e. :001 == :1 and
“:12a” == :12. It differs from the format of fast-import in that point
that it requires a digit after the colon, i.e. “:abc” != :0 and “:-12”
and “:+12” aren't allowed.

Uh, that's a bug in fast-import.  ":4abc" is _not_ a mark if you
read the language specification.  Only ":4" is a mark.  So we are
accepting crap and reading it in odd ways.  Not good.
