Sure, will do. I just have to figure out how to make it executable in windows ;)

As this is my first test, I was wondering a bit about how much I could
depend on the state of the repo, so I was a bit reluctant to add it to
the same test. But I guess it's easier for everyone in the long term
to put it into the same test, so I'll give it a go.

Sure, will do. I was a bit lazy, but updating it as we go will make
stuff easier in the future.

Well, yeah. But I was working mainly on fixing a crash-bug here, and I
don't think I know enough about the correct output of fast-export to
pull this off. Perhaps tighting up the test is something someone else
would care to do?
