There is a file-format defined for importing and exporting with git. See
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-fast-import.html
for details. It appears that if we simply added two commands to Fossil that
would read and write this format, we should be able to import and/or export
Fossil from and to Git. (Am I correct on that point?)
Are there any volunteers with more git experience than me who are willing to
help with this project?
