fast-export output is traditionally used as an input to a fast-import
program, but it is also useful to help gather statistics about the
history of a repository (particularly when --no-data is also passed).
For example, two of the types of information we may want to collect
could include:
1) general information about renames that have occurred
2) what the biggest objects in a repository are and what names
they appear under.
The first bit of information can be gathered by just passing -M to
fast-export. The second piece of information can partially be gotten
from running
git cat-file --batch-check --batch-all-objects
However, that only shows what the biggest objects in the repository are
and their sizes, not what names those objects appear as or what commits
they were introduced in. We can get that information from fast-export,
but when we only see
R oldname newname
instead of
R oldname newname
M 100644 $SHA1 newname
then it makes the job more difficult. Add an option which allows us to
force the latter output even when commits have exact renames of files.

+--always-show-modify-after-rename::
+ When a rename is detected, fast-export normally issues both a
+ 'R' (rename) and a 'M' (modify) directive. However, if the
+ contents of the old and new filename match exactly, it will
+ only issue the rename directive. Use this flag to have it
+ always issue the modify directive after the rename, which may
+ be useful for tools which are using the fast-export stream as
+ a mechanism for gathering statistics about a repository. Note
+ that this option only has effect when rename detection is
+ active (see the -M option).

--refspec::
Apply the specified refspec to each ref exported. Multiple of them can
be specified.
