I've seen the same thing.

Either I'm misunderstanding the git-fast-export file format documentation or
else git-fast-export is getting branches and tags confused.  I'm not sure
which it is, but I am leaning toward the problem being in git-fast-export.
Others have reported issues with that tool, and the documentation for
git-fast-export itself explains that it cannot successfully export the Linux
kernel repository....

I've got some ideas on how I might work around the (presumed) brokenness in
git-fast-export.  If you are able to send me the output of git-fast-export
from your repository, or let me clone you git repository, that will give me
another example repository to work with.
