If fast-export did not complete successfully the error handling code
itself would error out.
This was broken in commit 23b093ee0 (Brandon Casey, Wed Jun 9 2010,
Remove python 2.5'isms). Revert that commit an introduce our own copy
of check_call in util.py instead.
Tested by changing 'if retcode' to 'if not retcode' temporarily.

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.

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.

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.

Currently the remote helper infrastructure is only used by the curl
helper, which does not give a good impression of how remote helpers
can be used to interact with foreign repositories. Since implementing
such a helper is non-trivial it would be good to have at least one
easy-to-follow example demonstrating how to implement a helper that
interacts with a foreign vcs using fast-import/fast-export.
The testgit helper can be used to interact with remote git
repositories by prefixing the url with "testgit::".

This patch introduces parts of a Python package called
"git_remote_helpers" containing the building blocks for
remote helpers written in Python.
No actual remote helpers are part of this patch, this patch only
includes the common basics needed to start writing such helpers.
The patch includes the necessary Makefile additions to build and
install the git_remote_helpers Python package along with the rest of
Git.
This patch is based on Johan Herland's git_remote_cvs patch and
has been improved by the following contributions:
- David Aguilar: Lots of Python coding style fixes
- David Aguilar: DESTDIR support in Makefile
