It seems unlikely to me that this never worked, surely no reviewer
would accept a patch that doesn't actually implement the feature?
What's the history here?

Now I see, the {import,export}-marks options are only meant for
fast-export, for fast-import one should use the 'feature' commands. It
took me a while because the git_remote_helper code for python is very
confusing: it uses testgit.marks for the marks that git generates, and
git.marks for the marks that testgit generates.

It's not very convenient for remote-helpers that can export single
branches as opposed to the whole repo:

http://github.com/felipec/git/commit/0961fdf8231a4ac057eec8a306a708e66f7b6ae9

But it works, so this patch is not needed.
