Support delimited data regions in fast-import.
During testing its nice to not have to feed the length of a data
chunk to the 'data' command of fast-import. Instead we would
prefer to be able to establish a data chunk much like shell's <<
operator and use a line delimiter to denote the end of the input.
So now if a data command is started as 'data <<EOF' we will look
for a terminator line containing only the string EOF on that line.
Once found, we stop the data command. Everything between the two
lines is used as the data value.
The 'data <<' syntax is slower than 'data n', as we don't know how
many bytes to expect and instead must grow our buffer on the fly.
It also has the problem that the frontend must use a string which
will not appear on a line by itself in the input, and the data
region will always end in an LF. For these reasons real import
frontends are encouraged to continue to use _only_ 'data n'.

Remove unnecessary options from fast-import.
The --objects command line option is rather unnecessary. Internally
we allocate objects in 5000 unit blocks, ensuring that any sort
of malloc overhead is ammortized over the individual objects to
almost nothing. Since most frontends don't know how many objects
they will need for a given import run (and its hard for them to
predict without just doing the run) we probably won't see anyone
using --objects. Further since there's really no major benefit
to using the option, most frontends won't even bother supplying
it even if they could estimate the number of objects. So I'm
removing it.
The --max-objects-per-pack option was probably a mistake to even
have added in the first place. The packfile format is limited
to 4 GiB today; given that objects need at least 3 bytes of data
(and probably need even more) there's no way we are going to exceed
the limit of 1<<32-1 objects before we reach the file size limit.

Implemented tree reloading in fast-import.
Tree reloading allows fast-import to swap out the least-recently used
branch by simply deallocating the data structures from memory that
were associated with that branch. Later if the branch becomes active
again it can lazily recreate those structures on demand by reloading
the necessary trees from the pack file it originally wrote them to.
The reloading process is implemented by mmap'ing the pack into
memory and using a much tighter variant of the pack reading code
contained in sha1_file.c. This was a blatent copy from sha1_file.c
but the unpacking functions were significantly simplified and are
actually now in a form that should make it easier to map only the

Chose better tag names in git-describe after merges.
Recently git.git itself encountered a situation on its master and
next branches where git-describe stopped reporting 'v1.5.0-rc0-gN'
and instead started reporting 'v1.4.4.4-gN'. This appeared to be
a backward jump in version numbering.
maint o-------------------4
\ \
master o-o-o-o-o-o-o-5-o-C-o-W
The issue is that commit C in the diagram claims it is version
1.5.0, as the tag v1.5.0 is placed on commit 5. Yet commit W
claims it is version 1.4.4.4 as the tag v1.5.0 has an older tag
date than the v1.4.4.4 tag.
As it turns out this situation is very common. A bug fix applied
to maint and later merged into master occurs frequently enough that
it should Just Work Right(tm).
Rather than taking the first tag that gets found git-describe will
now generate a list of all possible tags and select the one which
has the most number of commits in common with HEAD (or whatever
revision the user requested the description of).
This rule is based on the principle shown in the diagram above.
There are a large number of commits on the primary development branch
'master' which do not appear in the 'maint' branch, and many of
these are already tagged as part of v1.5.0-rc0. Additionally these
commits are not in v1.4.4.4, as they are part of the v1.5.0 release
still being developed. The v1.5.0-rc0 tag is more descriptive of
W than v1.4.4.4 is, and therefore should be used.

Better error messages for corrupt databases
This fixes another problem that Andy's case showed: git-fsck-objects
reports nonsensical results for corrupt objects.
There were actually two independent and confusing problems:
- when we had a zero-sized file and used map_sha1_file, mmap() would
return EINVAL, and git-fsck-objects would report that as an insane and
confusing error. I don't know when this was introduced, it might have
been there forever.
- when "parse_object()" returned NULL, fsck would say "object not found",
which can be very confusing, since obviously the object might "exist",
it's just unparseable because it's totally corrupt.
So this just makes "xmmap()" return NULL for a zero-sized object (which is
a valid thing pointer, exactly the same way "malloc()" can return NULL for
a zero-sized allocation). That fixes the first problem (but we could have
fixed it in the caller too - I don't personally much care whichever way it
goes, but maybe somebody should check that the NO_MMAP case does
something sane in this case too?).
And the second problem is solved by just making the error message slightly
clearer - the failure to parse an object may be because it's missing or
corrupt, not necessarily because it's not "found".

Speed-up recursive by flushing index only once for all entries
The merge-recursive implementation in C inherited the invariant
that the on-file index file is written out and later read back
after any index operations and writing trees from the original
Python implementation. But it was only because the original
implementation worked at the scripting level.
There is no need to write out the index file after handling
every path.

Provide better feedback for the untracked only case in status output
Since
98bf8a47c296f51ea9722fef4bb81dbfb70cd4bb status would claim that
git-commit could be useful even if there are no changes except untracked files.
Since wt-status is already computing all the information needed go the whole
way and actually track the (non-)emptiness of all three sections separately,
unify the code, and provide useful messages for each individual case.
Thanks to Junio and Michael Loeffler for suggestions.
