That is correctly, but try this:
$ git fast-export --{im,ex}port-marks=marksfile foo foo
Now foo is updated.

This test is completely wrong.
1) Where are the marks file?
2) master..master shouldn't export anything
3) Why do you expect a SHA-1? It could be a mark.
I decided to write my own this way:
---
cat > expected << EOF
reset refs/heads/master
from ##mark##
EOF
test_expect_failure 'refs are updated even if no commits need to be exported' '
cp tmp-marks /tmp
git fast-export --import-marks=tmp-marks \
--export-marks=tmp-marks master | true &&
git fast-export --import-marks=tmp-marks \
--export-marks=tmp-marks master > actual &&
mark=$(grep $(git rev-parse master) tmp-marks | cut -f 1 -d " ")
sed -i -e "s/##mark##/$mark/" expected &&
test_cmp expected actual
'
---
Yes, it's true this fails, but change to 'master master', and then it works.
This can be easily fixed by this patch:
diff --git a/builtin/fast-export.c b/builtin/fast-export.c
index 12220ad..3b4c2d6 100644
--- a/builtin/fast-export.c
+++ b/builtin/fast-export.c
@@ -523,10 +523,13 @@ static void get_tags_and_duplicates(struct

}
- if (commit->util)
- /* more than one name for the same object */

string_list_append(extra_refs,
full_name)->util = commit;
- else
+ if (!commit->util)
commit->util = full_name;
}
}
Now if you specify a ref it will get updated regardless. However, this
points to another bug:
% git fast-export --{im,ex}port-marks=/tmp/marks master ^foo foo.foo
The foo ref will be reset _twice_ because all pending refs after the
first one get reset no matter how they were specified.
That is already the case, my patch will cause this to generate the same output:
% git fast-export --{im,ex}port-marks=/tmp/marks ^foo foo.foo
Which is still not got, but not catastrophic by any means.
Cheers.
