I did that as well, and the thing is, this is _so_ fast that
when I noticed and typed ^C, it already has done 400 or so
commits starting from the epoch (which was empty by the way).

I am already working on adjusting in-tree format-patch users not
to use <his> syntax but to use <his>.. syntax, so this should not
be a problem either way.

No, but people want to export the whole history sometimes.
