IIUC, vcs-svn/fast-export is meant to produce a stream in the
fast-import format, and that format is meant to be VCS agnostic,
it would need a careful thinking to add anything Git specific to
it.  If you make other people's importers unable to read from you
because you tell them the contents of blob in Git's terms, that is
not very good.

Surely you can, by using even and odd numbers (or modulo 4 if you
may later want to mark trees and tags as well, but I doubt that is
needed), no?
