As far as I can tell, fast-export is behaving no differently, the generated export file looks identical in shape. It seems that fast-import is creating a bad temporary packfile for itself. The error that I'm getting is: fatal: unknown object type 0 in .git/objects/pack/pack-6be2b92c2d7485fd5cefbb0d9a68827e4c23d548.pack fast-import: dumping crash report to .git/fast_import_crash_12317 which seems to come from the unpack_entry function in sha1_file.c. I haven't got much deeper into how the refs.c change has caused the issue, or why on earth it seems to be a Mac only issue.
