The helper writes into a staging area (like refs/testgit), and then we let git pick the results out of there. For export, that would be the same as my (2). The problem is that we don't feed the helper _any_ information about which refs were desired. All it gets is the fast-export stream. -Peff -- 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
