Sorry to be going on about fast-import again ...

I seem to be missing something though.  I can't seem to get it to work 
when run in an incremental manner.

I have a saved stream of fast-import commands.  Every time I run this 
through fast import I get the exact same marks file out.  This is good.

However if I feed it in in two chunks, then nearly all of the SHA1s 
generated in the second run are different to those produced in a single 
pass.  In addition I get a pair of "warning: Not updating 
refs/heads/BUG_101_BRANCH (new tip <some sha1> does not contain <other 
sha1>)" messages.  This is not so good.

I'm using the --import-marks and --export-marks options.  Is there 
something else I need to do to be able to run fast-import in an 
incremental manner?
