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?
