Well, they're useful to run subsequent imports reusing the marks
generated on the first import.

But ok, it seems my marks are "overflowing":

>cat fast-export.dat
blob
mark :1
data 7
bar.c

blob
mark :2
data 7
foo.c

reset refs/heads/master
commit refs/heads/master
mark :1583217
author unknown <pablo@.(none)> 1300813103 +0100
committer unknown <pablo@.(none)> 1300813103 +0100
data 8
initial
M 100644 :1 src/bar.c
M 100644 :2 src/foo.c

commit refs/heads/master
mark :1583219

move
from :1583217
R "src/bar.c" "dst/bar.c"
R "src/foo.c" "dst/foo.c"

reset refs/heads/master
from :1583219

And the generated marks are:

:2 146a766f34eb1dfb6c4d7b19a45ddf49ef7e5d5b
