GIT-FAST-EXPORT(1)		  Git Manual		    GIT-FAST-EXPORT(1)

NAME
       git-fast-export - Git data exporter

SYNOPSIS
       git-fast-export [options] | git-fast-import

DESCRIPTION
       This program dumps the given revisions in a form suitable to be piped
       into git-fast-import(1).

       You can use it as a human readable bundle replacement (see
       git-bundle(1)), or as a kind of an interactive git-filter-branch(1).

OPTIONS
       --progress=<n>
	      Insert progress statements every <n> objects, to be shown by
	      git-fast-import(1) during import.

       --signed-tags=(verbatim|warn|strip|abort)
	      Specify how to handle signed tags. Since any transformation
	      after the export can change the tag names (which can also happen
	      when excluding revisions) the signatures will not match.

	      When asking to abort (which is the default), this program will
	      die when encountering a signed tag. With strip, the tags will be
	      made unsigned, with verbatim, they will be silently exported and
	      with warn, they will be exported, but you will see a warning.

EXAMPLES
       $ git fast-export --all | (cd /empty/repository && git fast-import)

       This will export the whole repository and import it into the existing
       empty repository. Except for reencoding commits that are not in UTF-8,
       it would be a one-to-one mirror.

       $ git fast-export master~5..master |
	       sed "s|refs/heads/master|refs/heads/other|" |
	       git fast-import

       This makes a new branch called other from master~5..master (i.e. if
       master has linear history, it will take the last 5 commits).

       Note that this assumes that none of the blobs and commit messages
       referenced by that revision range contains the string
       refs/heads/master.

LIMITATIONS
       Since git-fast-import(1) cannot tag trees, you will not be able to
       export the linux-2.6.git repository completely, as it contains a tag
       referencing a tree instead of a commit.
