I've been playing with git-stitch-repo and similar tools all
of which seem to use the fast export to get their input data with.
I have need to provide these tools with a hints file so they can
be given the extra metadata about parents - to do this they need
to be able to decode marks->commit id's reliably.
git-stitch-repo reads it input direct from git-fast-export in a
pipe, so I could change that (by reading from saved output files)
or modify git to have a mode to ensure that the mark/commit id map
could be made stable.
I've chosen the later (mainly because it occurred to me first - but
it does seem the simpler to code )
There are no tests yet, and I'm not entirely sure I like the
new options name.
Comments welcome.
-- Patch follows ->
Allow the use of --import/export-marks options to guarantee
stability of the marks assigned to commits for tools that use
the fast-export format to manipulate history.
