It needs an explanation in the commit message, too. As Felipe noted, I do not think it would help with ambiguity, but it should not hurt, and is a reasonable defensive thing to do (but I did not think about it too long, so maybe Sverre has an example that needs it).

It would be nice if this were an argv_array so we would not have to worry about managing the array size. This is one of several spots that leaks array memory that I have been meaning to fix.
I just posted a series that addresses those leaks and converts this site. I do not want to hold your patch hostage to my series, but depending on the review on my series, you may want to re-roll this on top; you would drop the line above, and change:
> + fastexport->argv[argc++] = "--";
to:
argv_array_push(&fastexport->args, "--");
