Doesn't fast-export/fast-import only do full history conversions?

I imagine it would be problematic to e.g. implement methods like
Branch.last_revision(),  Branch.revision_id_to_revno() or
Repository.get_parent_map() based on fast-import/fast-export without
doing a full history conversion each time.

Cheers,
