Currently the helper must somehow guess how many import statements to
read before it starts outputting its fast-export stream. This is
because the remote helper infrastructure runs fast-import only once,
so the helper is forced to output one stream for all import commands
it will receive. The only reason this worked in the past was because
only one ref was imported at a time.
Change the semantics of the import statement such that it matches
that of the push statement. That is, the import statement is followed
by a series of import statements that are terminated by a '\n'.

When a remote helper exports to a non-local git repo, the
steps are roughly:
1. fast-export into a local staging area; the set of
interesting refs is defined by what is in the fast-export
stream
2. git push from the staging area to the non-local repo
In the second step, we should explicitly push all refs, not
just matching ones. This will let us push refs that do not
yet exist in the remote repo.

When we want to push to a remote helper that has the
"export" capability, we collect all of the refs we want to
push and then feed them to fast-export.
However, the list of refs is actually a list of remote refs,
not local refs. The mapped local refs are included via the
peer_ref pointer. So when we add an argument to our
fast-export command line, we must be sure to use the local
peer_ref name (and if there is no local name, it is because
we are not actually sending that ref, or we may not even
have the ref at all).

Upon receiving an "import" command, the testgit remote
helper would ignore the ref asked for by git and generate a
fast-export stream based on HEAD. Instead, we should
actually give git the ref it asked for.
This requires adding a new parameter to the export_repo
method in the remote-helpers python library, which may be
used by code outside of git.git. We use a default parameter
so that callers without the new parameter will get the same
behavior as before.

These are all things one might expect to work in a helper
that is capable of handling multiple branches (which our
testgit helper in theory should be able to do, as it is
backed by git). All of these bugs are specific to the
import/export codepaths, so they don't affect helpers like
git-remote-curl that use fetch/push commands.
The first and fourth tests are about fetching and pushing
new refs, and demonstrate bugs in the git_remote_helpers
library (so they would be most likely to impact helpers for
other VCSs which import/export git).
The second test is about importing multiple refs; it
demonstrates a bug in git-remote-testgit, which is mostly
for exercising the test code. Therefore it probably doesn't
affect anyone in practice.
The third test demonstrates a bug in git's side of the
helper code when the upstream has added refs that we do not
have locally. This could impact git users who use remote
helpers to access foreign VCSs.
All of those bugs have fixes later in this series.
The fifth test is the most complex, and does not have a fix
in this series. It tests pushing a ref via the export
mechanism to a new name on the remote side (i.e.,
"git push $remote old:new").
The problem is that we push all of the work of generating
the export stream onto fast-export, but we have no way of
communicating to fast-export that this name mapping is
happening. So we tell fast-export to generate a stream with
the commits for "old", but we can't tell it to label them
all as "new".

These are a little hard to read, and I'm about to add more
just like them. Plus the failure output is nicer if we use

Change tests to skip with skip_all=* + test_done instead of using say

This is a follow-up to "tests: Skip tests in a way that makes sense

patch, hopefully this is all of them.

The following python 2.5 features were worked around:
* the sha module is used as a fallback when the hashlib module is
not available
* the 'any' built-in method was replaced with a 'for' loop
* a conditional expression was replaced with an 'if' statement
* the subprocess.check_call method was replaced by a call to
subprocess.Popen followed by a call to subprocess.wait with a
check of its return status
These changes allow the python infrastructure to be used with python 2.4
which is distributed with RedHat's RHEL 5, for example.
t5800 was updated to check for python >= 2.4 to reflect these changes.

This test script depends on the git-remote-testgit python script. This
python script makes use of the hashlib module which was released in python
version 2.5. So, add a new pre-requisite named PYTHON_2_5_OR_NEWER to
test-lib.sh and check for it in t5800.
