This simpler patch does the same, doesn't it?

Which is needed why?
Right now if I do:
% git fast-export --{im,ex}port-marks=/tmp/marks foo1 tag-to-foo1
Where tag-to-foo1 is a tag that that points to foo1, I get a reset for that.

I don't see the point of this.
Besides, you can check the return value of dwim_ref, if it's not 1,
then you shouldn't generate a reset.

It's already stored in commit->util, you don't need to do that.
As I said, I think the patch above does the trick, and it even has the
advantage of not having the above a..<SHA-1> issues.
Cheers.
