Hmm. Maybe I am misremembering the problem, but I thought that worked
already. If you say:

  git fast-export refs/heads/foo

you should get only reset/commit lines in the output for refs/heads/foo,
no?

Now I can't seem to replicate the case where refs/heads/master is
mentioned, but you didn't want it to be. I may have to go back and
re-read the thread from a month or two ago when we discussed these
issues.
