Describe your use case and the problem you are facing

wp export post__in="196219,213336,210457,208635,209995"

If I run this I am getting the full list of authors and categories but I just want the articles.
As I can see also that the author is not exported in any article.

Describe the solution you'd like

Just export what I am asking for and not everything.

I just tried to export one post from a huge site. I ended up with 2 files having together around 1 milion rows.
Content I asked for was around 400 lines. At the end of the second file.

Export process used 2GB of memory. This can't work like that.

This helps a bit.

wp export --post__in=1234 --author=$(wp post get 1234 --field=post_author) --post_type=$(wp post get 1234 --field=post_type)

We could add --skip_authors and --skip_terms as additional flags.

Hey @danielbachhuber - Any update on that? --slip_authors flag could be very nice.
