Junio wanted a more general solution, adding infrastructure to the rev-list engine that I did not need -- and did not see the need for, either -- and given the amount of time I had invested in a working remote-hg and given that I needed it desperately for my day-job project, ...This is relatively long ago (and I am away from my machine, so I cannot check) so I may misremembering things, but my impression is that since that discussion, we added a minimal "infrastructure" to the rev-list (I think we caled it rev-list-cmdline or something like that) and Sverre used it to update fast-export. It may well be that what we have is still not sufficient to do everything you need, but it may be close enough to get extended for your original use case.
I don't think there's missing, the following patch works fine: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/208730 There's a minute issue, but I think that would require changes in fast-export itself and its marks, not rev-list. But nobody would care anyway, it's not a problem. Cheers. -- Felipe Contreras
