Re: [PATCH v5 01/15] fast-export: avoid importing blob marks

Major issue:  "echo -n" is still not portable.

Could we simply use

touch  marks-cur  &&
touch marks-new

Yes, "echo -n" is definitely not portable.  Our preferred way of
creating an empty file is just ">file".

Yes.

And it is misleading to use "touch" in this case; unless you are
updating the timestamp of an existing file while preserving the
contents of it, please don't use the command.

Thanks.
