No I didn't.
Maybe I'm not interested in all the old history and I just want to
create a repository from that point forward. For example 'git
fast-export v1.5.0..master. I don't want no references to objects I
don't have, there's no way I can do anything sensible with that SHA-1.
% git fast-export master..master | git --git-dir=/tmp/git/.git fast-import
fatal: Not a valid commit: 8c7a786b6c8eae8eac91083cdc9a6e337bc133b0
fast-import: dumping crash report to /tmp/git/.git/fast_import_crash_32498
Does it make sense to you that the output of fast-export doesn't work
with fast-import?

I don't have that commit, I don't even know what 8c7a786 means.
Show me a single remote helper that manually stores SHA-1's and I
might believe you, but I doubt that, marks are too convenient. Or show
me a script. I doubt there will be any, because otherwise somebody
would have pushed for this patch, and there doesn't seem to be too
many people.
But fine, lets assume it's a valid use-case and people need this... it
still has absolutely nothing to do with the original intent of the
patch series. The series is in fact doing two things:
1) Use SHA-1's when a mark can't be found
2) Update refs that have been already visited (through marks)
These two things are orthogonal to each other, we should have two
tests, and in fact, two separate patch series. One will be useful for
remote helpers, the other one will be useful to nobody IMO, but that's
something that can be discussed there, and I particularly don't care.
My test and my patch are good for 2), and so far I haven't seen
anybody saying otherwise.
Cheers.
