This patch series fixes silently dropped files in uses of fast-export
involving both --import-marks and limiting files by path. It also
adds a new feature: a --full-tree option to switch from incremental to
comprehensive handling of files in commits. The two changes are
related in that the bugfix consists of simply automatically activating
the new feature in a case where it is required for correct operation.
This obsoletes my previous (single) patch submission about the
--full-tree option. Changes since that submission include splitting
this into two patches, automatically enabling the feature when needed
for correct behavior, and providing more explicit testcases that
probably explain the feature better.
Since we're in feature freeze, it may make sense to split this patch
series so that the first patch can be applied now and keep the second
patch in pu until feature freeze is over (the series is currently
based on maint). Since the second patch depends on the first, though,
I thought it made sense to submit them together; let me know if you'd
rather I submitted them in some other manner.
(I'm not sure who to cc on this; other than Dscho who is out, I appear
to be the biggest contributor to fast-export.)
