Since these are having some problems getting in, let me point out
which I think are important, and which not.

I finished reading the series, and found them mostly sensible.

I'll send out comments on individual patches, and will push them
out, interspersed with "fixup!" commits, later on 'pu' when I am
done for the day, perhaps in 7 hours or so.

There is one thing I am not sure about with this series, though.

I can agree that the updates to fast-export will make remote-testgit
script work better, but I cannot tell how big an impact the changes
will have to people's existing use of fast-export.  Some of them may
be relying on the current behaviour (in other words, they may be
relying on "existing bugs"), which may mean that this series will
bring regression to them.  I am still open to reasonable objections
along the lines of "This script X uses fast-export and is broken
when used with the updated behaviour." if there is any.
