It is a common mistake to leave an unsed `origin` branch behind
if a shared public repository was created by first cloning from
somewhere else. Subsequent `git push` into it with the default
"push all the matching ref" would push the `origin` branch from
the developer repository uselessly.

The current Documentation/tutorial.txt concentrates on the lower-level
git interfaces. So it's useful to people developing alternative
porcelains, to advanced users, etc., but not so much to beginning users.
I think it makes sense for the main tutorial to address those
beginnning users, so with this patch I'm proposing that we move
Documentation/tutorial.txt to Documentation/core-tutorial.txt and
replace it by a new tutorial.

We forgot to make sure that there is no more than one pattern
parameter. Also when looking for files in a directory called
'--others', it passed that path limiter without preceding the
end-of-options marker '--' to underlying git-ls-files, which
misunderstood it as one of its options instead.
$ git grep --others -e Meta/Make Meta
$ git grep -o -e Meta/Make Meta
$ git grep -o Meta/Make Meta
look for a string "Meta/Make" from untracked files in Meta/
directory.
$ git grep Meta/Make --others
looks for the same string from tracked files in ./--others
directory.
On the other hand,
$ git grep -e Meta/Make --others
does not have a freestanding pattern, so everybody is parameter
and there is no path specifier. It looks for the string in all
the untracked files without any path limiter.

This patch adds the option to specify an author name/email conversion
file in the format
exon=Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se>
spawn=Simon Pawn <spawn@frog-pond.org>
which will translate the ugly cvs authornames to the more informative
git style.
The info is saved in $GIT_DIR/cvs-authors, so that subsequent
incremental imports will use the same author-info even if no -A
option is specified. If an -A option *is* specified, the info in
$GIT_DIR/cvs-authors is appended/updated appropriately.
Docs updated accordingly.

This changes the character used to mark the commits that is on the
branch from '+' to '*' for the current branch, to make it stand out.
Also we show '-' for merge commits.
When you have a handful branches with relatively long diversion, it

* Instead of going interactive, introduce a command line switch
'-m' to allow merging changes when normal two-way merge by
read-tree prevents branch switching.
* Leave the unmerged stages intact if automerge fails, but
reset index entries of cleanly merged paths to that of the
new branch, so that "git diff" (not "git diff HEAD") would
show the local modifications.
* Swap the order of trees in read-tree three-way merge used in
the fallback, so that `git diff` to show the conflicts become
more natural.
* Describe the new option and give more examples in the documentation.

I added things to ls-remote so that Cogito can auto-follow tags
easily and correctly a while ago, but git-fetch did not use the
facility. Recently added git-describe command relies on
repository keeping up-to-date set of tags, which made it much
more attractive to automatically follow tags, so we do that as
well.

Split out the functions that deal with the socketpair after
finishing git protocol handshake to receive the packed data into
a separate file, and use it in fetch-pack to keep/explode the
received pack data. We earlier had something like that on
clone-pack side once, but the list discussion resulted in the
decision that it makes sense to always keep the pack for
clone-pack, so unpacking option is not enabled on the clone-pack
side, but we later still could do so easily if we wanted to with
this change.

Morten Welinder says examples of resetting is really about

clone-pack had some logic to accept subset of remote refs from
the command line and clone from there. However, it was never
used in practice and its problems were not found out so far.
This commit changes the command to output the object names of
refs to the standard output instead of making a clone of the
remote repository when explicit <head> parameters are given; the
output format is the same as fetch-pack.
The traditional behaviour of cloning the whole repository by
giving no explicit <head> parameters stays the same.
