It appears that Fossil does not understand "M" lines with the "inline" tag,
probably because git-fast-export never generates such lines and we used the
output of git-fast-export for testing.  "M" lines with "inline" tags are
documented by git-fast-import in the file format description, so I suppose
they ought to be supported.

A quick workaround (prior to us getting this feature working in Fossil)
might be to import into git, then immediately turn around and export from
git into Fossil.
