A pair of commits on January 8th added option documentation (for -a,
-S and -L) in the middle of the documentation for the -A option. This
makes -A's documentation contiguous again.

Documentation advertises the new `--depth <n>' parameter with an equal
sign, while the usage notes (shown after `git-clone --help') do not. If I
understood git-clone's source code correctly, the version without the
equal sign is correct, which is why this patch syncs documentation to the
usage note.

Since `git add` is the approved porcelain for an end-user to invoke
when they want to manipulate the index, porcelain documentation
should steer the user to this command rather than the pure plumbing
update-index.

It was mentioned on #git this morning that the lead-in description
of git-rebase is very confusing. Too many branch this and branch
that in a very short run of text.
This new description attempts to walk the user through the command
syntax, while also describing exactly what git-rebase is doing to
their repository.

It was unclear if the backward compatible features were disabled
or the configuration variables that controls them were set to
false by default from the description. Obviously we meant the
former, but the problem was made worse by the fact that one
configuration variable breaks compatibility when set to true and
the other one breaks it when set to false.

It was suggested on the mailing list that being able to use `from`
in any commit to reset the current branch is useful in some types of
importers, such as a darcs importer.
We originally did not permit resetting an existing branch with a
new `from` command during a `commit` command, but this restriction
was only to help debug the hacked up cvs2svn that Jon Smirl was
developing in parallel with git-fast-import. It is probably more
of a problem to disallow it than to allow it. So now we permit a
`from` during any `commit`.
While making the changes required to permit multiple `from`
commands on the same branch, I discovered we no longer needed the
last_commit field to be set to 0 during a reset, so that was removed.
(Reset was originally setting the field to 0 to signal cmd_from()
that it was OK to execute on the branch.)
While poking around in this section of fast-import I also realized
the `reset` command was not working as intended if the corresponding
`from` command was omitted (as allowed by the BNF grammar and the
code). If `from` was omitted we cleared out the tree but we left
the tree SHA-1 and parent commit SHA-1 intact. This is not what
the user intended in this case. Instead they would be trying to
reset the branch to have no parent and to have no tree, making the
branch look new-born during the next commit. We now clear these
SHA-1 values during `reset`, ensuring the branch looks new-born if
`from` does not get supplied.
New test cases for these were also added.

* 'master' of git://repo.or.cz/git/fastimport:
bash: Hide git-fast-import.
fast-import: Add tip about importing renames.
fast-import: Hide the pack boundary commits by default.
Most users don't need the pack boundary information that fast-import
was printing to standard output, especially if they were calling
it with --quiet.
Those users who do want this information probably want it captured
so they can go back and use it to repack the imported repository.
So dumping the boundary commits to a log file makes more sense then
printing them to standard output.

Correct ^0 asciidoc syntax in fast-import docs.
It makes "git reflog [show]" act as
git log -g --pretty=oneline --abbrev-cmit
and is fairly straightforward. So you can just write
git reflog
or
git reflog show
and it will show you the reflog in a nice format.

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.
