Speaking of which, I have uploaded a preliminary version of the export
capability to my github repository [0] since Ramkumar wanted to have a
look at it. Sadly I have not been able to test it yet, I wanted to
work on that today but instead spent hours on getting the first
argument to the helper to be 'origin' (or whatever the user sets it to
with the --origin option), something that's been bothering me forever.
No documentation yet though, working on that ;).
