Hi Shawn,

Well, they're useful to run subsequent imports reusing the marks generated on the first import.

But ok, it seems my marks are "overflowing":

>cat fast-export.dat

blob mark :1 data 7 bar.c

blob mark :2 data 7 foo.c

reset refs/heads/master commit refs/heads/master mark :1583217 author unknown <pablo@.(none)> 1300813103 +0100 committer unknown <pablo@.(none)> 1300813103 +0100 data 8 initial M 100644 :1 src/bar.c M 100644 :2 src/foo.c

commit refs/heads/master mark :1583219 author unknown <pablo@.(none)> 1300813115 +0100 committer unknown <pablo@.(none)> 1300813115 +0100 data 5 move from :1583217 R "src/bar.c" "dst/bar.c" R "src/foo.c" "dst/foo.c"

reset refs/heads/master from :1583219

And the generated marks are:

:1 d1fe62248992d88f286d03bde972932e0118bf3c :2 146a766f34eb1dfb6c4d7b19a45ddf49ef7e5d5b :1074276465 52f475aba140ca2d6f6eb8f47ef0cdb9d043fab5 :1074276467 caf606bb7cc64bab818acbc52b40d545467ddafc
