You might need to read the rest of the series to see why I did this.
Short version: For fast-import, I seperated sending data from the commits, it 
is sent using the 'blob' command.
You have two choices of referencing that blobs later, by using a mark, or by 
giving their sha1. Marks are already used for marking commits, and there is 
only one "mark namespace". So I couldn't use marks to reference the blobs in  
a nice way. This allows for referencing them by their sha1.

Hm.. I'm not sure ;)
