Yeah, I think the fast-export filter was a misguided attempt.  In
addition to git-fast-export, we have to start up a fast-import process
that'll reply to our "ls" and "cat" commands, and I think we'll be
good.  I'm a little more worried about the mapper- I'm finding it hard
to imagine a fast-import stream that contains subdirectories
(branches/*) as opposed to head refs.  Any idea how we'll achieve
that?
