This aspect (the printing of commit ids) of the report-fd feature is
not used by the current svn-fe3 code.  I'd suggest dropping it or at
least making it optional; marks work pretty well for that purpose and
it is not worth the cost or complication of making the frontend
synchronize with fast-import with every commit.

This aspect is still useful (for use by the cat command). :)

Thanks.
