 </div>
 <h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="paragraph"><p>This program dumps the given revisions in a form suitable to be piped
 into <em>git fast-import</em>.</p></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><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
 <em>git filter-branch</em>.</p></div>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="dlist"><dl>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --progress=&lt;n&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Insert <em>progress</em> statements every &lt;n&gt; objects, to be shown by
  <em>git fast-import</em> during import.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --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>
 <div class="paragraph"><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></div>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --tag-of-filtered-object=(abort|drop|rewrite)
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Specify how to handle tags whose tagged object is filtered out.
  Since revisions and files to export can be limited by path,
  tagged objects may be filtered completely.
 </p>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>When asking to <em>abort</em> (which is the default), this program will die
 when encountering such a tag. With <em>drop</em> it will omit such tags from
 the output. With <em>rewrite</em>, if the tagged object is a commit, it will
 rewrite the tag to tag an ancestor commit (via parent rewriting; see
 <a href="git-rev-list.html">git-rev-list(1)</a>)</p></div>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 -M
 </dt>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 -C
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Perform move and/or copy detection, as described in the
  <a href="git-diff.html">git-diff(1)</a> manual page, and use it to generate
  rename and copy commands in the output dump.
 </p>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>Note that earlier versions of this command did not complain and
 produced incorrect results if you gave these options.</p></div>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --export-marks=&lt;file&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Dumps the internal marks table to &lt;file&gt; when complete.
  Marks are written one per line as <tt>:markid SHA-1</tt>. Only marks
  for revisions are dumped; marks for blobs are ignored.
  Backends can use this file to validate imports after they
  have been completed, or to save the marks table across
  incremental runs. As &lt;file&gt; is only opened and truncated
  at completion, the same path can also be safely given to
  --import-marks.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --import-marks=&lt;file&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Before processing any input, load the marks specified in
  &lt;file&gt;. The input file must exist, must be readable, and
  must use the same format as produced by --export-marks.
 </p>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>Any commits that have already been marked will not be exported again.
 If the backend uses a similar --import-marks file, this allows for
 incremental bidirectional exporting of the repository by keeping the
 marks the same across runs.</p></div>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --fake-missing-tagger
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Some old repositories have tags without a tagger. The
  fast-import protocol was pretty strict about that, and did not
  allow that. So fake a tagger to be able to fast-import the
  output.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --use-done-feature
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Start the stream with a <em>feature done</em> stanza, and terminate
  it with a <em>done</em> command.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --no-data
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Skip output of blob objects and instead refer to blobs via
  their original SHA-1 hash. This is useful when rewriting the
  directory structure or history of a repository without
  touching the contents of individual files. Note that the
  resulting stream can only be used by a repository which
  already contains the necessary objects.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --full-tree
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  This option will cause fast-export to issue a "deleteall"
  directive for each commit followed by a full list of all files
  in the commit (as opposed to just listing the files which are
  different from the commit&#8217;s first parent).
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 [&lt;git-rev-list-args&gt;&#8230;]
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  A list of arguments, acceptable to <em>git rev-parse</em> and
  <em>git rev-list</em>, that specifies the specific objects and references
  to export. For example, <tt>master~10..master</tt> causes the
  current master reference to be exported along with all objects
  added since its 10th ancestor commit.
 </p>
 </dd>
 </dl></div>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_examples">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>
 <div class="paragraph"><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>
 <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>
 <div class="paragraph"><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></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><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>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_limitations">Limitations</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="paragraph"><p>Since <em>git fast-import</em> 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></div>

	</div>
	<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
	<div class="sectionbody">
	<div class="paragraph"><p>This program dumps the given revisions in a form suitable to be piped
	into <em>git fast-import</em>.</p></div>
	<div class="paragraph"><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
	<em>git filter-branch</em>.</p></div>
	</div>
	<h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
	<div class="sectionbody">
	<div class="dlist"><dl>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	--progress=<n>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Insert <em>progress</em> statements every <n> objects, to be shown by
	<em>git fast-import</em> during import.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	--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>
	<div class="paragraph"><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></div>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	--tag-of-filtered-object=(abort\|drop\|rewrite)
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Specify how to handle tags whose tagged object is filtered out.
	Since revisions and files to export can be limited by path,
	tagged objects may be filtered completely.
	</p>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>When asking to <em>abort</em> (which is the default), this program will die
	when encountering such a tag. With <em>drop</em> it will omit such tags from
	the output. With <em>rewrite</em>, if the tagged object is a commit, it will
	rewrite the tag to tag an ancestor commit (via parent rewriting; see
	<a href="git-rev-list.html">git-rev-list(1)</a>)</p></div>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	-M
	</dt>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	-C
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Perform move and/or copy detection, as described in the
	<a href="git-diff.html">git-diff(1)</a> manual page, and use it to generate
	rename and copy commands in the output dump.
	</p>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>Note that earlier versions of this command did not complain and
	produced incorrect results if you gave these options.</p></div>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	--export-marks=<file>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Dumps the internal marks table to <file> when complete.
	Marks are written one per line as <tt>:markid SHA-1</tt>. Only marks
	for revisions are dumped; marks for blobs are ignored.
	Backends can use this file to validate imports after they
	have been completed, or to save the marks table across
	incremental runs. As <file> is only opened and truncated
	at completion, the same path can also be safely given to
	--import-marks.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	--import-marks=<file>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Before processing any input, load the marks specified in
	<file>. The input file must exist, must be readable, and
	must use the same format as produced by --export-marks.
	</p>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>Any commits that have already been marked will not be exported again.
	If the backend uses a similar --import-marks file, this allows for
	incremental bidirectional exporting of the repository by keeping the
	marks the same across runs.</p></div>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	--fake-missing-tagger
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Some old repositories have tags without a tagger. The
	fast-import protocol was pretty strict about that, and did not
	allow that. So fake a tagger to be able to fast-import the
	output.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	--use-done-feature
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Start the stream with a <em>feature done</em> stanza, and terminate
	it with a <em>done</em> command.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	--no-data
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Skip output of blob objects and instead refer to blobs via
	their original SHA-1 hash. This is useful when rewriting the
	directory structure or history of a repository without
	touching the contents of individual files. Note that the
	resulting stream can only be used by a repository which
	already contains the necessary objects.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	--full-tree
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	This option will cause fast-export to issue a "deleteall"
	directive for each commit followed by a full list of all files
	in the commit (as opposed to just listing the files which are
	different from the commit’s first parent).
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	[<git-rev-list-args>…]
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	A list of arguments, acceptable to <em>git rev-parse</em> and
	<em>git rev-list</em>, that specifies the specific objects and references
	to export. For example, <tt>master~10..master</tt> causes the
	current master reference to be exported along with all objects
	added since its 10th ancestor commit.
	</p>
