While it's not a command meant to be used by actual users (hence, not
mentionned in git(1)), this command is a very precious help for
remote-helpers authors.
The best place for such technical doc is the source code, but users may
not find it without a link in a manpage.

This is important for two reasons:
* when two "import" lines follow each other, only one "done" command
should be issued in the fast-import stream, not one per "import".
* The blank line terminating an import command should not be confused
with the one terminating the sequence of commands.
While we're there, illustrate the corresponding explanation for push
batches with an example.

The current remote helper documentation is from the perspective of
git, so to speak: it presents a full menu of commands for a person
invoking a remote helper to choose from. In practice, that's less
useful than it could be, since the daunted novice remote-helper author
probably just wanted a list of commands needs to implement to get
started. So preface the command list with an overview of each
capability, its purpose, and what commands it requires.
As a side effect, this makes it a little clearer that git doesn't
choose arbitrary commands to run, even if the remote helper advertises
all capabilities --- instead, there are well defined command sequences
for various tasks.

5267d29 (log: decorate "replaced" on to replaced commits, 2011-08-19)
introduced textual decorations for replaced commits, based on the
detection of refs/replace.
Make it so that additionally the use of --no-replace-objects is
detected: I.e. replaced commits are only decorated as replaced when they
are actually replaced.

As the use of http-fetch without -a can create an object store that is
invalid to the point where it cannot even be fsck'd, mark it as
deprecated. A future release should change the default and then
remove the option entirely.
