It would have been nicer to hint why people may want to omit
mediafiles from their export under what condition somewhere in the
documentation or at least in the proposed commit log message.

The real use-case for which I implemented is a bit particular (described
below), but I'll resend with a more general explanation.

For the curious: I have a wiki with ~2Gb of mediafiles, and I want to
secure it without particular access to the server. I import the wiki on
a desktop machine with a large disk, and re-export it to another
webserver with a small disk quota. Importing mediafiles is good because
it gives me a backup, but exporting them is not an option as my quota on
the webserver is too small.
