Hi, I would like to export our whole git repository to patches, and then reconstruct it again from scratch. Following the man page of "git fast-export": $ git clone git://git.sympy.org/sympy-full-history-20081023.git $ cd sympy-full-history-20081023 $ git fast-export --all --export-marks=marks > patches $ cd .. $ mkdir sympy-new $ cd sympy-new $ git init $ git fast-import --export-marks=marks < ../sympy-full-history-20081023/patches git-fast-import statistics: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Alloc'd objects: 25000 Total objects: 21355 ( 144 duplicates ) blobs : 8009 ( 0 duplicates 4529 deltas) trees : 10627 ( 144 duplicates 9189 deltas) commits: 2719 ( 0 duplicates 0 deltas) tags : 0 ( 0 duplicates 0 deltas) Total branches: 21 ( 26 loads ) marks: 1048576 ( 10728 unique ) atoms: 726 Memory total: 2880 KiB pools: 2098 KiB objects: 781 KiB --------------------------------------------------------------------- pack_report: getpagesize() = 4096 pack_report: core.packedGitWindowSize = 33554432 pack_report: core.packedGitLimit = 268435456 pack_report: pack_used_ctr = 40706 pack_report: pack_mmap_calls = 2791 pack_report: pack_open_windows = 1 / 2 pack_report: pack_mapped = 26177739 / 35513414 --------------------------------------------------------------------- However, the repository is very different to the original one. It contains only 191 patches: $ git log --pretty=oneline | wc -l 191 and it only contains couple files. Compare this with the original repository: $ git log --pretty=oneline | wc -l 2719 What am I doing wrong? Is there some other way to do it? I also tried "git format-patch" and "git am" and that almost works, only it changes hashes. Is there some way to tell "git am" to preserve the hash?
