If fast-export is being used to generate a fast-import stream that
will be used afterwards it is desirable to indicate the end of the
stream with the new 'done' command.
Add a flag that causes fast-export to end with 'done'.

The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.
Use the {tilde} entity to get a literal tilde without fuss.
With \~, asciidoc 8.5.2 (and probably earlier versions) keeps the
backslash in the output.

This option adds symmetry with fast-import, enabling it to also work with
complete trees instead of just incremental changes. It works by issuing a
'deleteall' directive with each commit and then listing the full set of
files that make up that commit, rather than just showing the list of files
that have changed since the (first) parent commit. Note that this
functionality is automatically turned on when using --import-marks together
with path limiting in order to avoid dropping important but unchanged
files.
This functionality is desired when using hand-written filters along with
'fast-export | some-filter | fast-import' as it can be easier to write
<some-filter> in terms of complete trees than incremental changes.
We could avoid the need to add this option by simply always turning it on.
While the end result would be identical, it would slow things down slightly
by printing many more filenames per commit which goes somewhat against the
'fast' in 'fast-export'.

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.
When using git fast-export and git fast-import to rewrite the history
of a repository with large binary files, almost all of the time is
spent dealing with blobs. This is extremely inefficient if all we want
to do is rewrite the commits and tree structure. --no-data skips the
output of blobs and writes SHA-1s instead of marks, which provides a
massive speedup.

When providing a list of paths to limit what is exported, the object that
a tag points to can be filtered out entirely. This new switch allows
the user to specify what should happen to the tag in such a case. The
default action, 'abort' will exit with an error message. With 'drop', the
tag will simply be omitted from the output. With 'rewrite', if the object
tagged was a commit, the tag will be modified to tag an alternate commit.
The alternate commit is determined by treating the original commit as the
"parent" of the tag and then using the parent rewriting algorithm of the
revision traversal machinery (related to the "--parents" option of "git
rev-list")

When no tagger was found (old Git produced tags like this),
no "tagger" line is printed (but this is incompatible with the current
git fast-import).
Alternatively, you can pass the option --fake-missing-tagger, forcing
fast-export to fake a tagger
Unspecified Tagger <no-tagger>
with a tag date of the beginning of (Unix) time in the case of a missing
tagger, so that fast-import is still able to import the result.

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

This adds the --import-marks and --export-marks to fast-export. These import
and export the marks used to for all revisions exported in a similar fashion
to what fast-import does. The format is the same as fast-import, so you can
create a bidirectional importer / exporter by using the same marks file on
both sides.

This program dumps (parts of) a git repository in the format that
fast-import understands.
For clarity's sake, it does not use the 'inline' method of specifying
blobs in the commits, but builds the blobs before building the commits.
Since signed tags' signatures will not necessarily be valid (think
transformations after the export, or excluding revisions, changing
the history), there are 4 modes to handle them: abort (default),
ignore, warn and strip. The latter just turns the tags into
unsigned ones.
