I just noticed looking searching through older list emails that
Johannes has apparently left git development
(http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2010/4/27/29263), is that
correct?  If so, that's a big loss for the community.  :-(

I guess that also means I need to cc someone else to review this.
According to shortlog --no-merges, I'm the top committer to
fast-export, followed by Johannes (though his patches were bigger and
included the initial write of the file), followed by a string of 2-3
commit persons.  Hmmm....  Shawn: could you take a quick look?

Thanks,
Elijah
