Re: [PATCH 8/8] Allow helpers to request marks for fast-import

The 'marks' capability is reported by the remote helper if it requires
the fast-import marks database to loaded/saved by any git-fast-import
process that is provided by the transport machinery. The feature is
advertised along with exactly one argument: the location of the file
containing the marks database.

Note that this patch can be dropped if Sverre Rabbelier's suggestion of 
adding an "option" command to fast-import is accepted: 
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/124655

In that case, the CVS helper (or any other helper) can use the "option" 
fast-import command instead of having to tell transport-helper.c to invoke 
fast-import appropriately. Seems like a somewhat cleaner solution to me...


Have fun!
