If you tried to export the official git repository, and then to import it back then git-fast-import would die complaining that "Mark :1 not a commit". Accordingly to a generated crash file, Mark 1 is not a commit but a blob, which is pointed by junio-gpg-pub tag. Because git-tag allows to create such tags, git-fast-import should import them.

Thank you for guideliness. I do not understand this code well. I hope I got it right this time. fast-import.c | 10 ++++++---- 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/fast-import.c b/fast-import.c index cd87049..4fdf809 100644 --- a/fast-import.c +++ b/fast-import.c @@ -2305,6 +2305,7 @@ static void parse_new_tag(void) struct tag *t; uintmax_t from_mark = 0; unsigned char sha1[20]; + enum object_type type; /* Obtain the new tag name from the rest of our command */ sp = strchr(command_buf.buf, ' ') + 1; @@ -2325,19 +2326,20 @@ static void parse_new_tag(void) s = lookup_branch(from); if (s) { hashcpy(sha1, s->sha1); + type = OBJ_COMMIT; } else if (*from == ':') { struct object_entry *oe; from_mark = strtoumax(from + 1, NULL, 10); oe = find_mark(from_mark); - if (oe->type != OBJ_COMMIT) - die("Mark :%" PRIuMAX " not a commit", from_mark); + type = oe->type; hashcpy(sha1, oe->sha1); } else if (!get_sha1(from, sha1)) { unsigned long size; char *buf; + type = sha1_object_info(sha1, NULL); buf = read_object_with_reference(sha1, - commit_type, &size, sha1); + typename(type), &size, sha1); if (!buf || size < 46) die("Not a valid commit: %s", from); free(buf); @@ -2362,7 +2364,7 @@ static void parse_new_tag(void) "object %s\n" "type %s\n" "tag %s\n", - sha1_to_hex(sha1), commit_type, t->name); + sha1_to_hex(sha1), typename(type), t->name); if (tagger) strbuf_addf(&new_data, "tagger %s\n", tagger); -- 1.6.6.137.g1acb -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
