What was the conclusion of the mark-syntax discussion?

Use the same as fast-import and fix fast-import. :)

I strongly disagree.

Also with the conclusion that this was the conclusion.

fast-import is a fundamentally different thing compared to rebase -i.  The 
former should be very easy to write importers for, and therefore have a 
very easy syntax from the _technical_ view, the latter should be usable by 
people, and therefore have a very easy syntax from the _usability_ point 
of view.

So I really hate the idea of introducing yet other marks when we already 
have unique identifiers: the (abbreviated) commit names.

I guess the only way to prove that I am not wrong is to do it myself. 
Sigh.

Ciao,
