This implements the suggestion by Jeff King to use
refs/remotes/$foo/HEAD to interpret a shorthand "$foo" to mean
the primary branch head of a tracked remote. clone needs to be
told about this convention as well.

This builds on top of the previous one.
* --use-separate-remote uses .git/refs/remotes/$origin/
directory to keep track of the upstream branches.
* The $origin above defaults to "origin" as usual, but the
existing "-o $origin" option can be used to override it.
I am not yet convinced if we should make "$origin" the synonym to
"refs/remotes/$origin/$name" where $name is the primary branch
name of $origin upstream, nor if so how we should decide which
upstream branch is the primary one, but that is more or less
orthogonal to what the clone does here.

Because committing back to an SVN repository from different
machines can result in different lineages, two different
repositories running git-svn can result in different commit
SHA1s (but of the same tree). Sometimes trees that are tracked
independently are merged together (usually via children),
resulting in non-unique git-svn-id: lines in rev-list.

Processes new command-line arguments -d and -D to remove a remote branch
if the following conditions are met:
- one branch name is present on the command line
- the specified branch name matches exactly one remote branch name
- the remote HEAD is a symref
- the specified branch is not the remote HEAD
- the remote HEAD resolves to an object that exists locally (-d only)
- the specified branch resolves to an object that exists locally (-d only)
- the specified branch is an ancestor of the remote HEAD (-d only)

verbose option in git-commit.sh lead us to run git-diff-index, which
needs a commit-ish we are making diff against. When we are commiting
the fist set, we obviously don't have any commit-ish in the repo. So
we just skip the git-diff-index run.
It might be possible to produce diff against empty but do we need
that?

This patch makes the html docs right, makes the asciidoc docs a bit odd
but consistent with what is there already, and makes the manpages look
OK using docbook-xsl 1.68, but miss a paragraph separator when using 1.69.
For the manpages, current is like
-A <author_file>
Read a file with lines on the form
username = User's Full Name <email@addr.es>
and use "User's Full Name <email@addr.es>" as the GIT
With this patch, docbook-xsl v1.68 looks like
-A <author_file>
Read a file with lines on the form
username = User's Full Name <email@addr.es>
and use "User's Full Name <email@addr.es>" as the GIT author and
while docbook-xsl v1.69 becomes
-A <author_file>
Read a file with lines on the form
username = User's Full Name <email@addr.es>
and use "User's Full Name <email@addr.es>" as the GIT author and
The extra indentation is to keep the v1.69 manpage looking sane.
When a repository otherwise properly prepared is served by a
dumb HTTP server that sends "No such page" output with 200
status for human consumption to a request for a page that does
not exist, the users will get an alarming "File X corrupt" error
message. Hint that they might be dealing with such a server at
the end and suggest running fsck-objects to check if the result
is OK (the pack-fallback code does the right thing in this case
so unless a loose object file was actually corrupt the result
should check OK).

* jc/merge:
git-merge knows some strategies want to skip trivial merges
generate-cmdlist: style cleanups.
Add missing semicolon to sed command.
unpack_delta_entry(): reduce memory footprint.
git.el: Added a function to diff against the other heads in a merge.
git.el: Get the default user name and email from the repository config.
git.el: More robust handling of subprocess errors when returning strings.
Most notably "ours". Also this makes sure we do not record
duplicated parents on the parent list of the resulting commit.

This does two things.
* A new flag --reference can be used to name a local repository
that is to be used as an alternate. This is in response to
an inquiry by James Cloos in the message on the list
<m3r74ykue7.fsf@lugabout.cloos.reno.nv.us>.
* A new flag --use-separate-remote stops contaminating local
branch namespace by upstream branch names. The upstream
branch heads are copied in .git/refs/remotes/ instead of
.git/refs/heads/ and .git/remotes/origin file is set up to
reflect this as well. It requires to have fetch/pull update
to understand .git/refs/remotes by Eric Wong to further
update the repository cloned this way.
For the former change, git-fetch-pack is taught a new flag --all
to fetch from all the remote heads. Nobody uses the git-clone-pack
with this change, so we could deprecate the command, but removal
of the command will be left to a separate round.

Currently we unpack the delta data from the pack and then unpack
the base object to apply that delta data to it. When getting an
object that is deeply deltified, we can reduce memory footprint
by unpacking the base object first and then unpacking the delta
data, because we will need to keep at most one delta data in
memory that way.

Documentation says -i is "import only", so without it,
subsequent import should update the current branch and working
tree files in a sensible way.
"A sensible way" defined by this commit is "act as if it is a
git pull from foreign repository which happens to be CVS not
git". So:
- If importing into the current branch (note that cvsimport
requires the tracking branch is pristine -- you checked out
the tracking branch but it is your responsibility not to make
your own commits there), fast forward the branch head and
match the index and working tree using two-way merge, just
like "git pull" does.
- If importing into a separate tracking branch, update that
branch head, and merge it into your current branch, again,
just like "git pull" does.

As pointed out by Junio, it may be dangerous to cut off people's names
after 15 bytes. If the name is encoded in an encoding which uses more
than one byte per code point we may end up with outputting garbage.
Instead of trying to do something smart, just output the entire name.
We don't gain much screen space by chopping it off anyway.
Furthermore, only output the file name if we actually found any
renames.
