Описание (Description)

This program is usually not what the end user wants to run
       directly. Most end users want to use one of the existing frontend
       programs, which parses a specific type of foreign source and
       feeds the contents stored there to git fast-import.

       fast-import reads a mixed command/data stream from standard input
       and writes one or more packfiles directly into the current
       repository. When EOF is received on standard input, fast import
       writes out updated branch and tag refs, fully updating the
       current repository with the newly imported data.

       The fast-import backend itself can import into an empty
       repository (one that has already been initialized by git init) or
       incrementally update an existing populated repository. Whether or
       not incremental imports are supported from a particular foreign
       source depends on the frontend program in use.
