If the commit area does not exist, don't save the commit message to
a file, or the window geometry. The reason I'm doing this is I want
to make the main window entirely optional, such as if the user has
asked us to show a blame from the command line. In such cases the
commit area won't exist and trying to get its text would cause an
error.
If we are running without the commit message area, we cannot save
our window geometry either, as the root window '.' won't be a normal
commit window.

We already replace \n with \\n so that Tk widgets don't start a new
display line with part of a file path which is just unlucky enough
to contain an LF. But then its confusing to read a path whose name
actually contains \n as literal characters. Escaping \ to \\ would
make that case display as \\n, clarifying the output.

Users want to navigate the file list shown in our branch browser
windows using the keyboard. So we now support basic traversal
with the arrow keys:
Up/Down: Move the "selection bar" to focus on a different name.
Return: Move into the subtree, or open the annotated file.
M1-Right: Ditto.
M1-Up: Move to the parent tree.
M1-Left: Ditto.
Probably the only feature missing from this is to key a leading part
of the file name and jump directly to that file (or subtree).
This change did require a bit of refactoring, to pull the navigation
logic out of the mouse click procedure and into more generic routines
which can also be used in bindings.

This is an example fast-import frontend, in less than 100 lines
of Perl. It accepts one or more tar archives on the command line,
passes them through gzcat/bzcat/zcat if necessary, parses out the
individual file headers and feeds all contained data to fast-import.
No temporary files are involved.
Each tar is treated as one commit, with the commit timestamp coming
from the oldest file modification date found within the tar.
Each tar is also tagged with an annotated tag, using the basename
of the tar file as the name of the tag.
Currently symbolic links and hard links are not handled by the
importer. The file checksums are also not verified.

For commit messages, we should really put the "line_termination" when we
output the character in between different commits, *not* between the
commit and the diff. The diff goes hand-in-hand with the commit, it
shouldn't be separated from it with the termination character.
So this:
- uses the termination character for true inter-commit spacing
- uses a regular newline between the commit log and the diff
We had it the other way around.
For the normal case where the termination character is '\n', this
obviously doesn't change anything at all, since we just switched two
identical characters around. So it's very safe - it doesn't change any
normal usage, but it definitely fixes "git log -z".
By fixing "git log -z", you can now also do insane things like
git log -p -z |
grep -z "some patch expression" |
tr '\0' '\n' |
less -S
and you will see only those commits that have the "some patch expression"
in their commit message _or_ their patches.
(This is slightly different from 'git log -S"some patch expression"',
since the latter requires the expression to literally *change* in the
patch, while the "git log -p -z | grep .." approach will see it if it's
just an unchanged _part_ of the patch context)
Of course, if you actually do something like the above, you're probably
insane, but hey, it works!
Try the above command line for a demonstration (of course, you need to
change the "some patch expression" to be something relevant). The old
behaviour of "git log -p -z" was useless (and got things completely wrong
for log entries without patches).

When we remove the last reflog in a directory, opendir() would
succeed and we would iterate over its dirents, expecting retval
to be initialized to zero and setting it to non-zero only upon
seeing an error. If the directory is empty, oops!, we do not
have anybody that touches retval.
The problem is because we initialize retval to errno even on
success from opendir(), which would leave the errno unmolested.

If the frontend asks us to checkpoint (via the explicit checkpoint
command) its probably because they are afraid the current import
will crash/fail/whatever and want to make sure they can pickup from
the last checkpoint. To do that sort of recovery, we will need the
current tip of every branch and tag available at the next startup.

Often users will be running fast-import from within a larger frontend
process, and this may be a frequent periodic tool such as a future
edition of `git-svn fetch`. We don't want to bombard users with our
large stats output if they won't be interested in it, so `--quiet`
is now an option to make gfi be more silent.

Some frontends may not be able to (easily) keep track of which files
are included in the branch, and which aren't. Performing this
tracking can be tedious and error prone for the frontend to do,
especially if its foreign data source cannot supply the changed
path list on a per-commit basis.
fast-import now allows a frontend to request that a branch's tree
be wiped clean (reset to the empty tree) at the start of a commit,
allowing the frontend to feed in all paths which belong on the branch.
This is ideal for a tar-file importer frontend, for example, as
the frontend just needs to reformat the tar data stream into a gfi
data stream, which may be something a few Perl regexps can take
care of. :)

If fast-import is being used to update an existing branch of
a repository, the user may not want to lose commits if another
process updates the same ref at the same time. For example, the
user might be using fast-import to make just one or two commits
against a live branch.
We now perform a fast-forward check during the ref updating process.
If updating a branch would cause commits in that branch to be lost,
we skip over it and display the new SHA1 to standard error.
This new default behavior can be overridden with `--force`, like
git-push and git-fetch.

Since some frontends may be working with source material where
the dates are only readily available as RFC 2822 strings, it is
more friendly if fast-import exposes Git's parse_date() function
to handle the conversion. This way the frontend doesn't need
to perform the parsing itself.
The new --date-format option to fast-import can be used by a
frontend to select which format it will supply date strings in.
The default is the standard `raw` Git format, which fast-import
has always supported. Format rfc2822 can be used to activate the
parse_date() function instead.
Because fast-import could also be useful for creating new, current
commits, the format `now` is also supported to generate the current
system timestamp. The implementation of `now` is a trivial call
to datestamp(), but is actually a whole whopping 3 lines so that
fast-import can verify the frontend really meant `now`.
As part of this change I have added validation of the `raw` date
format. Prior to this change fast-import would accept anything
in a `committer` command, even if it was seriously malformed.
Now fast-import requires the '> ' near the end of the string and
verifies the timestamp is formatted properly.

This allows you to set up mothership-satellite configuration
more symmetrically and naturally by allowing the globbing
wildcard refspec for git-push. On your satellite machine:
[remote "mothership"]
url = mothership:project.git
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/mothership/*
push = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/*
You would say "git fetch mothership" to update your tracking
branches under mothership/ to keep track of the progress on the
mothership side, and when you are done working on the satellite
machine, you would "git push mothership" to update their
tracking branches under satellite/. Corresponding configuration
on the mothership machine can be used to make "git fetch satellite"
update its tracking branch under satellite/. on the mothership.
