[PATCH 1/8] fast-export: fix exporting a tag and nothing else

[Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>]

fast-export allows specifying revision ranges, which can be used to
export a tag without exporting the commit it tags.  fast-export handled
this rather poorly: it would emit a "from :0" directive.  Since marks
start at 1 and increase, this means it refers to an unknown commit and
fast-import will choke on the input.

When we are unable to look up a mark for the object being tagged, use a
"from $HASH" directive instead to fix this problem.

Note that this is quite similar to the behavior fast-export exhibits
with commits and parents when --reference-excluded-parents is passed
along with an excluded commit range.  For tags of excluded commits we do
not require the --reference-excluded-parents flag because we always have
to tag something.  By contrast, when dealing with commits, pruning a
parent is always a viable option, so we need the flag to specify that
parent pruning is not wanted.  (It is slightly weird that
--reference-excluded-parents isn't the default with a separate
--prune-excluded-parents flag, but backward compatibility concerns
resulted in the current defaults.)
