When an object has already been exported (and thus is in the marks) it
is flagged as SHOWN, so it will not be exported again, even if this 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.

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 wich objects have already been exported.
