Please improve git-fast-export.txt. It says
This program dumps the given revisions in a form suitable to be
piped into git-fast-import.<revlist> isn't mentioned in the SYNOPSIS. And there is no hyperlink to the git-fast-import man page, nor in SEE ALSO.)
You can use it as a human readable bundle replacement (see
git-bundle(1))But I tried it and there are apparently a few steps not mentioned that are needed after git-fast-import before you can actually see the files again on the other side of the sneakernet.
I used --all, which is in EXAMPLES but not OPTIONS.
Else nothing happens and no error is caught: $ git fast-export $
Also the git-bundle man page should SEE ALSO git-fast-export and maybe even git-fast-import, which itself makes no mention of git-fast-export.
