git fast-export and lightweight tags

git fast-export and lightweight tags

[Philippe De Muyter]

Hello list,

I have a git project with plenty of tags created by

	git tag MYTAG

When I clone my git repo, I find my tags again using

	git tag

When I display it using gitweb or the git plugin for trac, I see them also.

But when I use

	git fast-export master

which is invoked by git2svn, my tags are not exported.  I checked that
using the following :

	git fast-export master > /tmp/repo.dump
	mkdir /tmp/repo.fast-imported
	cd /tmp/repo.fast-imported
	git init
	git fast-import < /tmp/repo.dump

How can I convince fast-export to export my tags ?

Philippe

Untested, this is just from memory:

$ git fast-export --all --tags

Yes, that works, but neither

$ git help fast-export

nor

$ git fast-export

does mention it :(

Thanks

Kind of.

[<git-rev-list-args>…]
A list of arguments, acceptable to git rev-parse and git rev-list,
that specifies the specific objects and references to export. For
example, master~10..master causes the current master reference to be
exported along with all objects added since its 10th ancestor commit.

But, yeah. Not very intuitive I agree.
