It might be nice to have a git-fast-export, which could actually be
potentially useful for generating a repository with systematic differences
from the original. (E.g., to make a repository of git's Documentation
directory, with just the commits that affect it)
That might also be a big help to projects that find they should have been
using more, fewer, or different repositories through their history.
Also, I'd guess that it would be pretty straightforward and easy to
understand, plus easy to verify correctness on large examples with.
