It might be nice to have a git-fast-export, which could actually be 
potentially useful for generating a repository with systematic differences 
from the original. (E.g., to make a repository of git's Documentation 
directory, with just the commits that affect it)

That might also be a big help to projects that find they should have been 
using more, fewer, or different repositories through their history.

Also, I'd guess that it would be pretty straightforward and easy to 
understand, plus easy to verify correctness on large examples with.
