This patch series fixes silently dropped files in uses of fast-export involving both --import-marks and limiting files by path. It also adds a new feature: a --full-tree option to switch from incremental to comprehensive handling of files in commits. The two changes are related in that the bugfix consists of simply automatically activating the new feature in a case where it is required for correct operation.

There is just one change since the last submission
  * modify one of the new testcases to not depend on the full exact
    output of fast-export (since it is no longer the same in next)
This change enables the series to apply cleanly to next.  All tests
pass with this series applied to either maint or next now.

I'll again note that it may make sense to split this patch series since the first is a bugfix and thus makes sense to apply to maint, while the second (whose testcase was the fragile one) is a feature addition, though a fairly trivial one.
