When an object has already been exported (and thus is in the marks) it's
flagged as SHOWN, so it will not be exported again, even if in a later
time it's exported through a different ref.
We don't need the object to be exported again, but we want the ref
updated, which doesn't happen.
Since we can't know if a ref was exported or not, let's just assume that
if the commit was marked (flags & SHOWN), the user still wants the ref
updated.
IOW: If it's specified in the command line, it will get updated,
regardless of whether or not the object was marked.
So:
% git branch test master
% git fast-export $mark_flags master
% git fast-export $mark_flags test
Would export 'test' properly.
Additionally, this fixes issues with remote helpers; now they can push
refs whose objects have already been exported, and a few other issues as
well. Update the tests accordingly.
