To re-iterate Dscho's point, the reason for this testcase is that if
you do this:
$ git checkout master
$ git branch next
$ git push hg://example.com master
$ git push hg://example.com next

With the current design, next will not be present on the remote. This
is caused by the fact that git looks at "fast-export ^master next",
sees that it's empty, and decides not to export anything. This patch
series solves that, by having "fast-export ^master next" emit a "from
:42\nreset next" (or something like that, assuming :42 is where master
is currently at).
