Hi, I'm trying to incremental updates of larger repositories (> 100MB) into git to provide a mirror. First run uses

git fast-import --export-marks=import-0
...and the second run
git fast-import --import-marks=import-0 --export-marks=import-1

After a while, when it hits the actual commits in the input stream, I get

error: unable to find d17263cb13b181e16217c7b18b0c47a6c30f02ae fatal: object not found: d17263cb13b181e16217c7b18b0c47a6c30f02ae fast-import: dumping crash report to .git/fast_import_crash_28817

Crash report is attached. The interesting part is that the mark with this hash does exist in import-0, so why doesn't it find the object? I'm running git 1.7.6.
