This patch adds the -o switch, which lets old trees tracked by
git-archmirror continue working with their old branch and tag names
to make life easier for people tracking your tree.
Private tags that are only used internally by git-archimport continue to be
new-style, and automatically converted upon first run.
[ ml: rebased to skip import overhaul ]

Don't die if we can't find a merge base, Arch allows arbitrary
cherry-picks between unrelated branches and we should not
die when that happens

use ',' to encode '/' in "archivename/foo--bar--0.0" so we can allow
"--branch"-less trees which are valid in Arch ("archivename/foo--0.0")

Arch uses pika escaping in some places (but not all!). Specifically, commits of
the type 'patch' use pika escaping in the log entries, which we parse to know
what to add/delete and what to commit.
This patch checks for hints of pika escaping and asks tla to unescape for us.

archimport was refusing to import commits that had merges from repositories
that it didn't know about. Fixed.
Also brings in nicer messages.

Switched from backwards hard-coded tmp directory creation to using
File::Temp::tempdir() to create the directory inside $TMP_PATH or
what the user has provided via the -t parameter.

Updated the usage/help message to match asciidoc documentation. The perldoc
documentation now includes the first paragraph from the asciidoc documentation
and points users to the manpage.
Updated TODO section.
Removed some redundant options from the getopt() invocation.

We now keep track of the patches merged in each branch since they have
diverged, using the records that the Arch "logs" provide. Merge parents
for a commit are defined if we are merging a series of patches that starts
from the mergebase.
If patches from a related branch are merged out-of-order, we keep track of
how much has been merged sequentially -- the tip of that sequential merge
is our new parent from that branch.
This mechanism works very well for branches that merge in dovetail and/or
flying fish patterns, probably less well for others.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.
