What about two commands with subcommands, "export" and "import", where
we could have

        mtn export git
        mtn import cvs

for now?

Of course this is bikeshed discussion and still doesn't solve the issue
where to put these - having two groups already with only one command
(database, automation) is already stupid enough - and a command group
cannot be specified in the commandline either, so an "import" and
"export" group is equally stupid.
