checkpoint command causes fast-import to finish the current pack and start a new one. If there are no (newly imported) objects in the pack fast-import does nothing with the pack AND doesn't save out branches, tags and marks. Fix it by always saving out branches, tags and marks on a checkpoint. Simple test case where no new objects are created is $ fast-export $somebranch | sed $somebranch to $newbranch | fast-import While it's running send checkpoint signals to fast-import to avoid parsing the import stream. Non-fast-forward updates may happen if there are merges in $somebranch history. The fast-import may fail on checkpoints now. Not a regression as it'd fail the same way before if import is to a new/empty repository - the intermediate packs won't be empty and so a real checkpoint happens anyway. Whether fast-export really should reuse $somebranch name for all commits in it's history graph and so cause intermediate non-fast-forwads is a separate topic to be discussed.
