[PATCHv2 0/2] non-incremental mode for fast-export

[Elijah Newren]

This patch series fixes silently dropped files in uses of fast-export
involving both --import-marks and limiting files by path.  It also
adds a new feature: a --full-tree option to switch from incremental to
comprehensive handling of files in commits.  The two changes are
related in that the bugfix consists of simply automatically activating
the new feature in a case where it is required for correct operation.

There is just one change since the last submission
  * modify one of the new testcases to not depend on the full exact
    output of fast-export (since it is no longer the same in next)
This change enables the series to apply cleanly to next.  All tests
pass with this series applied to either maint or next now.

I'll again note that it may make sense to split this patch series
since the first is a bugfix and thus makes sense to apply to maint,
while the second (whose testcase was the fragile one) is a feature
addition, though a fairly trivial one.

[PATCHv2 1/2] fast-export: Fix dropping of files with --import-marks and path limiting

[Elijah Newren]

Since fast-export operates by listing file changes since the (first) parent
commit, when using --import-marks and path limiting and using a wider list
of paths than in previous runs, files from the new path(s) will silently be
omitted from the result unless or until a commit which explicitly changes
those files.  The resulting repository in such cases is broken and makes no
sense.

This commit fixes this by having fast-export work with complete trees
instead of incremental changes (when both --import-marks and path limiting
are used).  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.

[PATCHv2 2/2] fast-export: Add a --full-tree option

[Elijah Newren]

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'.
