423 <div class=

424 <a href=

435 Insert
<em>progress
</em> statements every
<n
> objects, to be shown by
436 <em>git fast-import
</em> during import.
440 --signed-tags=(verbatim|warn|strip|abort)
444 Specify how to handle signed tags. Since any transformation
445 after the export can change the tag names (which can also happen
446 when excluding revisions) the signatures will not match.
448 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>When asking to
<em>abort
</em> (which is the default), this program will die
449 when encountering a signed tag. With
<em>strip
</em>, the tags will be made
450 unsigned, with
<em>verbatim
</em>, they will be silently exported
451 and with
<em>warn
</em>, they will be exported, but you will see a warning.
</p></div>
454 --tag-of-filtered-object=(abort|drop|rewrite)
458 Specify how to handle tags whose tagged object is filtered out.
459 Since revisions and files to export can be limited by path,
460 tagged objects may be filtered completely.
462 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>When asking to
<em>abort
</em> (which is the default), this program will die
463 when encountering such a tag. With
<em>drop
</em> it will omit such tags from
464 the output. With
<em>rewrite
</em>, if the tagged object is a commit, it will
465 rewrite the tag to tag an ancestor commit (via parent rewriting; see
466 <a href=
"git-rev-list.html">git-rev-list(
1)
</a>)
</p></div>
476 Perform move and/or copy detection, as described in the
477 <a href=
"git-diff.html">git-diff(
1)
</a> manual page, and use it to generate
478 rename and copy commands in the output dump.
480 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Note that earlier versions of this command did not complain and
481 produced incorrect results if you gave these options.
</p></div>
484 --export-marks=
<file
>
488 Dumps the internal marks table to
<file
> when complete.
489 Marks are written one per line as
<tt>:markid SHA-
1</tt>. Only marks
490 for revisions are dumped; marks for blobs are ignored.
491 Backends can use this file to validate imports after they
492 have been completed, or to save the marks table across
493 incremental runs. As
<file
> is only opened and truncated
494 at completion, the same path can also be safely given to
499 --import-marks=
<file
>
503 Before processing any input, load the marks specified in
504 <file
>. The input file must exist, must be readable, and
505 must use the same format as produced by --export-marks.
507 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Any commits that have already been marked will not be exported again.
508 If the backend uses a similar --import-marks file, this allows for
509 incremental bidirectional exporting of the repository by keeping the
510 marks the same across runs.
</p></div>
513 --fake-missing-tagger
517 Some old repositories have tags without a tagger. The
518 fast-import protocol was pretty strict about that, and did not
519 allow that. So fake a tagger to be able to fast-import the
528 Skip output of blob objects and instead refer to blobs via
529 their original SHA-
1 hash. This is useful when rewriting the
530 directory structure or history of a repository without
531 touching the contents of individual files. Note that the
532 resulting stream can only be used by a repository which
533 already contains the necessary objects.
541 This option will cause fast-export to issue a
"deleteall"
542 directive for each commit followed by a full list of all files
543 in the commit (as opposed to just listing the files which are
544 different from the commit
’s first parent).
548 [
<git-rev-list-args
>…]
552 A list of arguments, acceptable to
<em>git rev-parse
</em> and
553 <em>git rev-list
</em>, that specifies the specific objects and references
554 to export. For example,
<tt>master
~10..master
</tt> causes the
555 current master reference to be exported along with all objects
556 added since its
10th ancestor commit.
