The 'marks' capability is reported by the remote helper if it requires the fast-import marks database to loaded/saved by any git-fast-import process that is provided by the transport machinery. The feature is advertised along with exactly one argument: the location of the file containing the marks database.

Should the name not rather be specified when _asking_ for the marks, rather than at the time when we do not even know if the caller _needs_ marks?
