[PATCH 10/13] Allow helpers to request marks for fast-import

From
Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org>
Date
Aug 5, 2009, 05:02 UTC
Message-ID
<alpine.LNX.2.00.0908050056050.2147@iabervon.org>
From: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net>

The 'marks' capability is reported by the remote helper if it requires the fast-import marks database to loaded/saved by any git-fast-import process that is provided by the transport machinery. The feature is advertised along with exactly one argument: the location of the file containing the marks database.
