git filter-branch has a nifty feature allowing you to rewrite, e.g. just
the last 8 commits of a linear history
git filter-branch $OPTIONS HEAD~8..HEAD
If you try the same with git fast-export, you instead get a history of
only 8 commits, with HEAD~7 being rewritten into a root commit. There
are two alternatives:
1) Don't use the negative revision specification, and when you're
filtering the output to make modifications to the last 8 commits,
just be careful to not modify any earlier commits somehow.
2) First run 'git fast-export --export-marks=somefile HEAD~8', then
run 'git fast-export --import-marks=somefile HEAD~8..HEAD'.
Both are more error prone than I'd like (the first for obvious reasons;
with the second option I have sometimes accidentally included too many
revisions in the first command and then found that the corresponding
extra revisions were not exported by the second command and thus were
not modified as I expected). Also, both are poor from a performance
perspective.
Add a new --reference-excluded-parents option which will cause
fast-export to refer to commits outside the specified rev-list-args
range by their sha1sum. Such a stream will only be useful in a
repository which already contains the necessary commits (much like the
restriction imposed when using --no-data).
Note from Peff:
I think we might be able to do a little more optimization here. If
we're exporting HEAD^..HEAD and there's an object in HEAD^ which is
unchanged in HEAD, I think we'd still print it (because it would not
be marked SHOWN), but we could omit it (by walking the tree of the
boundary commits and marking them shown). I don't think it's a
blocker for what you're doing here, but just a possible future
optimization.

If file paths are specified to fast-export and a ref points to a commit
that does not touch any of the relevant paths, then that ref would
sometimes fail to be exported. (This depends on whether any ancestors
of the commit which do touch the relevant paths would be exported with
that same ref name or a different ref name.) To avoid this problem,
put *all* specified refs into extra_refs to start, and then as we export
each commit, remove the refname used in the 'commit $REFNAME' directive
from extra_refs. Then, in handle_tags_and_duplicates() we know which
refs actually do need a manual reset directive in order to be included.
This means that we do need some special handling for excluded refs; e.g.
if someone runs
git fast-export ^master master
then they've asked for master to be exported, but they have also asked
for the commit which master points to and all of its history to be
excluded. That logically means ref deletion. Previously, such refs
were just silently omitted from being exported despite having been
explicitly requested for export.

If file paths are specified to fast-export and multiple refs point to a
commit that does not touch any of the relevant file paths, then
fast-export can hit problems. fast-export has a list of additional refs
that it needs to explicitly set after exporting all blobs and commits,
and when it tries to get_object_mark() on the relevant commit, it can
get a mark of 0, i.e. "not found", because the commit in question did
not touch the relevant paths and thus was not exported. Trying to
import a stream with a mark corresponding to an unexported object will
cause fast-import to crash.
Avoid this problem by taking the commit the ref points to and finding an
ancestor of it that was exported, and make the ref point to that commit
instead.

If --tag-of-filtered-object=rewrite is specified along with a set of
paths to limit what is exported, then any tags pointing to old commits
that do not contain any of those specified paths cause problems. Since
the old tagged commit is not exported, fast-export attempts to rewrite
such tags to an ancestor commit which was exported. If no such commit
exists, then fast-export currently die()s. Five years after the tag
rewriting logic was added to fast-export (see commit 2d8ad46919,
"fast-export: Add a --tag-of-filtered-object option for newly dangling
tags", 2009-06-25), fast-import gained the ability to delete refs (see
commit 4ee1b225b9, "fast-import: add support to delete refs",
2014-04-20), so now we do have a valid option to rewrite the tag to.
Delete these tags instead of dying.

When we see a time like "noon", we pass "12" to our date_time() helper,
which sets the hour to 12pm. If the current time is before noon, then we
wrap around to yesterday using date_yesterday(). But unlike the normal
calls to date_yesterday() from approxidate_alpha(), we pass a NULL "num"
parameter. Since c27cc94fad (approxidate: handle pending number for
"specials", 2018-11-02), that causes a segfault.
One way to fix this is by checking for NULL. But arguably date_time() is
abusing our helper by passing NULL in the first place (and this is the
only case where one of these "special" parsers is used this way). So
instead, let's have it just do the 1-day subtraction itself. It's still
just a one-liner due to our update_tm() helper.
Note that the test added here is a little funny, as we say "10am noon",
which makes the "10am" seem pointless. But this bug can only be
triggered when it the currently-parsed hour is before the special time.
The latest special time is "tea" at 1700, but t0006 uses a hard-coded
TEST_DATE_NOW of 1900. We could reset TEST_DATE_NOW, but that may lead
to confusion in other tests. Just saying "10am noon" makes this test
self-contained.
