Hmm, does it? Shouldn't an export with a bottom commit be always considered an incremental? Why special case --import-marks? When you say "I want to export master~2..master", isn't the intention (unstated, because it is too obvious) that follows it "... because I do have master~2 already and I would want to replay the export on top of that state"? If all of master~2, master~1 and master have a file "frotz" with exactly the same contents, I thought you wouldn't even have to have that same contents repeated in the export datastream. Or am I (again) entirely misunderstanding the intended use case? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
