<h1>
git-fast-export(1) Manual Page
</h1>
<h2>NAME</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p>git-fast-export -
Git data exporter
</p>
</div>
</div>
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p><em>git-fast-export [options]</em> | <em>git-fast-import</em></p>
</div>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p>This program dumps the given revisions in a form suitable to be piped
into <a href="git-fast-import.html">git-fast-import(1)</a>.</p>
<p>You can use it as a human readable bundle replacement (see
<a href="git-bundle.html">git-bundle(1)</a>), or as a kind of an interactive
<a href="git-filter-branch.html">git-filter-branch(1)</a>.</p>
</div>
<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<dl>
<dt>
--progress=&lt;n&gt;
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Insert <em>progress</em> statements every &lt;n&gt; objects, to be shown by
<a href="git-fast-import.html">git-fast-import(1)</a> during import.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
--signed-tags=(verbatim|warn|strip|abort)
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specify how to handle signed tags. Since any transformation
after the export can change the tag names (which can also happen
when excluding revisions) the signatures will not match.
</p>
<p>When asking to <em>abort</em> (which is the default), this program will die
when encountering a signed tag. With <em>strip</em>, the tags will be made
unsigned, with <em>verbatim</em>, they will be silently exported
and with <em>warn</em>, they will be exported, but you will see a warning.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><tt>$ git fast-export --all | (cd /empty/repository &amp;&amp; git fast-import)</tt></pre>
</div></div>
<p>This will export the whole repository and import it into the existing
empty repository. Except for reencoding commits that are not in
UTF-8, it would be a one-to-one mirror.</p>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><tt>$ git fast-export master~5..master |
sed "s|refs/heads/master|refs/heads/other|" |
git fast-import</tt></pre>
</div></div>
<p>This makes a new branch called <em>other</em> from <em>master~5..master</em>
(i.e. if <em>master</em> has linear history, it will take the last 5 commits).</p>
<p>Note that this assumes that none of the blobs and commit messages
referenced by that revision range contains the string
<em>refs/heads/master</em>.</p>
</div>
<h2>Limitations</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p>Since <a href="git-fast-import.html">git-fast-import(1)</a> cannot tag trees, you will not be
able to export the linux-2.6.git repository completely, as it contains
a tag referencing a tree instead of a commit.</p>
