Hi Felipe,

Why shouldn't master..master export anything?  It means "update the
master ref; we already have all commits up to and including master^0".

The underlying problem is that fast-export takes rev-list arguments as
parameters, which is unfortunately only an approximation to what is
really intended.  Ideally it would separately take a list of refs to
import and rev-list arguments representing the commits we already
have.

Hoping that clarifies,
Jonathan
