Hi,

git fast-import --export-marks is able to export to a file the marks and its associated commit hashes created during import.

So far I've seen the marks are not the ones provided in the input but some "internal ones" not related with the input.

Wouldn't it be much better, for import/export interop, if it kept the original marks?

It would be certainly easier to do incremental import/export with external systems not dealing with SHAs...

Thanks,
pablo
