Re: git fast-import --export-marks flag

Hi Shawn,

I don't know what you are looking at, but fast-import uses the same
mark numbers that were supplied in the input stream inside of the
exported marks file. Otherwise as you pointed out, the marks are
useless.

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
author unknown <pablo@.(none)> 1300813115 +0100
committer unknown <pablo@.(none)> 1300813115 +0100
data 5
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:

:1 d1fe62248992d88f286d03bde972932e0118bf3c
:2 146a766f34eb1dfb6c4d7b19a45ddf49ef7e5d5b
:1074276465 52f475aba140ca2d6f6eb8f47ef0cdb9d043fab5
:1074276467 caf606bb7cc64bab818acbc52b40d545467ddafc
