No documentation for "export" ... yet

Which is for the better, since I think the current interface is
broken. It'll be easier to justify changing it if it's not documented
;).

Thanks for explaining.  FWIW I'd be interested in your thoughts on this
sometime (not now necessarily, just some time before the svn push
support project is on the front burner :)).

(by the way: would it
make sense to export the GIT_DIR environment variable so a round trip
for the 'gitdir' capability would eventually be unnecessary?).

Yes, that makes a lot of sense.

The current documentation left me lost, so I wrote this (which still
probably leaves one lost).  Thoughts?

I think it makes sense.

Glad to hear it.  (The GIT_DIR idea is Tom's iirc.)
