When asking to fetch/pull a branch whose name is B or a tag whose
name is T, we used to show the command to run as:
git pull $URL B
git pull $URL tags/T
even when B and T were spelled in a more qualified way in order to
disambiguate, e.g. heads/B or refs/tags/T, but the recent update
lost this feature. Resurrect it.

This illustrates behaviour changes that result from the recent
change by Linus. Most show good changes, but there may be some
usability regressions:
- The command continues to fail when the user forgot to push out
before running the command, but the wording of the message has
been slightly changed.
- The command no longer guesses when asked to request the commit at
the HEAD be pulled after pushing it to a branch 'for-upstream',
even when that branch points at the correct commit. The user
must ask the command with the new "master:for-upstream" syntax.
The new behaviour needs to be documented in any case, but we need to
agree what the new behaviour should be before doing so first.

When running 'make test' from a path such as
.../daily-build/master@bdff0e3a374617dce784f801b97500d9ba2e4705, the
logic in fuzz.sed as generated by t5105-request-pull.sh was backwards,
replacing object names before replacing urls, making the test fail.

Ever since v1.7.9.2~13 (2012-02-01), git's diffstat-style summary line
produced by "git apply --stat", "git diff --stat", and "git commit"
varies by locale, producing test failures when GETTEXT_POISON is set.

"git diff --stat" and "git apply --stat" now learn to print the line
"%d files changed, %d insertions(+), %d deletions(-)" in singular form
whenever applicable. "0 insertions" and "0 deletions" are also omitted
unless they are both zero.
This matches how versions of "diffstat" that are not prehistoric produced
their output, and also makes this line translatable.

When asking for a tag to be pulled, disambiguate by leaving tags/ prefix
in front of the name of the tag. E.g.
... in the git repository at:
git://example.com/git/git.git/ tags/v1.2.3
for you to fetch changes up to 123456...
This way, older versions of "git pull" can be used to respond to such a
request more easily, as "git pull $URL v1.2.3" did not DWIM to fetch
v1.2.3 tag in older versions. Also this makes it clearer for humans that
the pull request is made for a tag and he should anticipate a signed one.

The whole point of the recent update to allow "git pull $url $tagname" is
so that the integrator does not have to store the (signed) tag that is
used to convey authenticity to be recorded in the resulting merge in the
local repository's tag namespace. Asking for a merge be made with "git
pull $url tag $tagname" defeats it.
Note that the request can become ambiguous if the requestor has a branch
with the same name as the tag, but that is not a new problem limited to
pulling. I wouldn't mind if somebody wants to add disambiguation to the
find_matching_ref logic in the script as a separate patch, though.

The old code that insisted on asking for the tip of a branch to be pulled
were not updated when we started allowing for a tag to be pulled. When a
tag points at an older part of the history and there is no branch that
points at the tagged commit, the script failed to say which ref is to be
pulled.

The integrator tool will start allowing to pull a signed or an annotated
tag, i.e.
$ git pull $there tags/for-linus
and the description in the tag is used to convey a meaningful message from
the lieutenant to the integrator to justify the history being pulled.
Include the message in the pull request e-mail, as the same information is
useful in this context, too. It would encourage the lieutenants to write
meaningful messages in their signed tags.

The message gives a detailed explanation of the commit the requester based
the changes on, but lacks information that is necessary for the person who
performs a fetch & merge in order to verify that the correct branch was
fetched when responding to the pull request.
Add a few more lines to describe the commit at the tip expected to be
fetched to the same level of detail as the base commit.
Also update the warning message slightly when the script notices that the
commit may not have been pushed.

10eb0007 (request-pull: avoid mentioning that the start point is a
single commit, 2010-01-29), changed the pull request format, so the
test needs some changes to still pass:
- tolerate a missing blank line between “in the git repository at:”
and the name of repository and branch
- recognize subject and date in the new request format
- update the expected request template to match the new format

Like most git commands, request-pull supports a -- delimiter to allow
callers to pass arguments that would otherwise be treated as an option
afterwards. The internal OPTIONS_KEEPDASHDASH variable is passed
empty to git-sh-setup to indicate that request-pull itself does not
care about the position of the -- delimiter. But if the user has
that variable in her environment, request-pull will see the “--” and
fail.
Empty it explicitly to guard against this. While at it, make the
corresponding fix to git-resurrect, too (all other scripts in git.git
already protect themselves).
