From df6a7ff7ac55d320afa1b8a59393122d6ca0f6c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pieter de Bie Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2008 13:17:04 +0200 Subject: builtin-fast-export: Add importing and exporting of revision marks This adds the --import-marks and --export-marks to fast-export. These import and export the marks used to for all revisions exported in a similar fashion to what fast-import does. The format is the same as fast-import, so you can create a bidirectional importer / exporter by using the same marks file on both sides.
