But the *format* is fastimport.  If you insist on an alias for when
it's used as an export format, you probably should call it
"slowexport" format (or the FTC will be after you for Truth in
Advertising violations).

Why not just make life simple and add an export command with a
--format option, where --format=fastimport is the default?

In the case of git, just naming the relevant script "git-export" will
DTRT....
