This is a beginning of resurrecting the multi-head pulling support
for git-fetch-pack command. The git-fetch-script wrapper still
only knows about fetching a single head, without renaming, so it is
not very useful unless you directly call git-fetch-pack itself yet.
It also fixes a longstanding obsolete description of how the command
discovers the list of local commits.
Some http servers return an HTML error page and git reads it as normal
data. Adding -f option makes curl fail silently.

Implement fetching from a packed repository over http/https
using the dumb server support files.
I consider some parts of the logic should be in a separate C
program, but it appears to work with my simple tests. I have
backburnered it for a bit too long for my liking, so let's throw
it out in the open and see what happens.

Cause setting environment variable GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY to turn off
curl's ssl peer verification.
Only use curl for http transfers, instead of curl and wget.
Make curl check ~/.netrc for credentials.

We were trying to fetch using the merge-head name rather than the
merge-head SHA1 that we just got.
Now, http:// is broken anyway right now for packing, but this should
make it work for nonpacked repositories again.
Since pull and fetch are done often against the same remote
repository repeatedly, keeping the URL to pull from along with
the name of the head to use in $GIT_DIR/branches/$name makes a
lot of sense. Adopt that convention from Cogito, and try to be
compatible when possible; storing a partial URL and completing
it with a trailing path may not be understood by Cogito.
While we are at it, fix pulling a tag. Earlier, we updated only
refs/tags/$tag without updating FETCH_HEAD, and called
resolve-script using a stale (or absent) FETCH_HEAD.

It sets up the normal git environment variables and a few helper
functions (currently just "die()"), and returns ok if it all looks like
a git archive. So use it something like
. git-sh-setup-script || die "Not a git archive"
to make the rest of the git scripts more careful and readable.
We codify the following different heads (in addition to the main "HEAD",
which points to the current branch, of course):
- FETCH_HEAD
Populated by "git fetch"
- ORIG_HEAD
The old HEAD before a "git pull/resolve" (successful or not)
- LAST_MERGE
The HEAD we're currently merging in "git pull/resolve"
- MERGE_HEAD
The previous head of a unresolved "git pull", which gets committed by
a "git commit" after manually resolving the result
We used to have "MERGE_HEAD" be populated directly by the fetch, and we
removed ORIG_HEAD and LAST_MERGE too aggressively.
