Fossil support for incremental import relys on the exporter only exporting
"artifacts" newer than the previous export. I assume git can do that, but
I've never used that feature.

For Fossil-to-Fossil export/import, I once tested Fossil's incremental
export (2 years ago so I forget the details)

When exporting from Fossil, --export-marks option saves the RIDs of
exported data in a file. When doing an export intended as an update to the
previous export, the --import-marks option will read the saved RIDs so
Fossil knows what it has already exported, then will only export data not
previously exported.

While this did work, we ultimately didn't need it because the IT people
decided it would be "safe enough" to add a rule to the firewall permitting
Fossil sync between the Test Engineering LAN and the Product Engineering
LAN.
