Yeah, I think fast-import is great. And I'd also like to echo that call to 
not call it "gfi". Maybe it's just me, and maybe it's just because I'm a 
home-owner who does things like add in-wall ethernet cables, but to me, 
gfi is about an electrical outlet.

So to me, gfi means "ground fault interrupter": the kind of outlet that 
breaks the circuit if there is current leaking to the ground pin. All your 
electrical outlets in "wet areas" (bathroom, kitchen within a certain 
distance of a sink, outside, near swimming pools etc) are supposed to be 
GFI's.

I realize that there's not a lot of chance of confusion in the git world, 
but still.
