That leaves us in the interim with a "fast-export --anonymize" that is a
little harder to use (you have no way to know which branch was which).

But I don't mind at all implementing the map-dumping feature to help
move this along. As long as both make it into the same release, then
fast-export only gets better, and never regresses. :)
