It could be misleading to keep a signature in a
replacement commit, so let's remove it.
Note that there should probably be a way to sign
the replacement commit created when using --graft,
but this can be dealt with in another commit or
patch series.

The usage string for this option is:
git replace [-f] --graft <commit> [<parent>...]
First we create a new commit that is the same as <commit>
except that its parents are [<parents>...]
Then we create a replace ref that replace <commit> with
the commit we just created.
With this new option, it should be straightforward to
convert grafts to replace refs.

It's a bad idea to create a replace ref for an object
that points to the original object itself.
That's why we have to check if the result from editing
the original object is a different object and error out
if it isn't.

This allows you to run:
git replace --edit SHA1
to get dumped in an editor with the contents of the object
for SHA1. The result is then read back in and used as a
"replace" object for SHA1. The writing/reading is
type-aware, so you get to edit "ls-tree" output rather than
the binary tree format.

By using OPT_CMDMODE, the mutual exclusion between modes is
taken care of for us. It also makes it easy for us to
maintain a single variable with the mode, which makes its
intent more clear. We can use a single switch() to make sure
we have covered all of the modes.
This ends up breaking even in code size, but the win will be
much bigger when we start adding more modes.

The git-replace command has three modes: listing, deleting,
and replacing. The first two are selected explicitly. If
none is selected, we fallback to listing when there are no
arguments, and replacing otherwise.
Let's figure out up front which operation we are going to
do, before getting into the application logic. That lets us
simplify our option checks (e.g., we currently have to check
whether a useless "--force" is given both along with an
explicit list, as well as with an implicit one).
This saves some lines, makes the logic easier to follow, and
will facilitate further cleanups.

When checking to see if some objects are of the same type
and when displaying the type of objects, git replace uses
the sha1_object_info() function.
Unfortunately this function by default respects replace
refs, so instead of the type of a replaced object, it
gives the type of the replacement object which might
be different.
To fix this bug, and because git replace should work at a
level before replacement takes place, let's unset the
read_replace_refs global variable at the beginning of
cmd_replace().

By default when listing replace refs, only the sha1 of the
replaced objects are shown.
In many cases, it is much nicer to be able to list all the
sha1 of the replaced objects along with the sha1 of the
replacment objects.
And in other cases it might be interesting to also show the
types of the replaced and replacement objects.
This patch introduce a new --format=<fmt> option where
<fmt> can be any of the following:
'short': this is the same as when no --format
option is used, that is only the sha1 of
the replaced objects are shown
'medium': this also lists the sha1 of the
replacement objects
'full': this shows the sha1 and the type of both
the replaced and the replacement objects
Some documentation and some tests will follow.

Users replacing an object with one of a different type were not
prevented to do so, even if it was obvious, and stated in the doc,
that bad things would result from doing that.
To avoid mistakes, it is better to just forbid that though.
If -f option, which means '--force', is used, we can allow an object
to be replaced with one of a different type, as the user should know
what (s)he is doing.
If one object is replaced with one of a different type, the only way
to keep the history valid is to also replace all the other objects
that point to the replaced object. That's because:
* Annotated tags contain the type of the tagged object.
* The tree/parent lines in commits must be a tree and commits, resp.
* The object types referred to by trees are specified in the 'mode'
field:
100644 and 100755 blob
160000 commit
040000 tree
(these are the only valid modes)
* Blobs don't point at anything.
The doc will be updated in a later patch.

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not
safe for long-term use because if another resolve_ref() call happens,
the buffer may be changed. Many call sites though do not care about
this buffer. They simply check if the return value is NULL or not.
Convert all these call sites to new wrappers to reduce resolve_ref()
calls from 57 to 34. If we change resolve_ref() prototype later on
to avoid passing static buffer out, this helps reduce changes.

Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what
is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git
check-ref-format"'s "--allow-onelevel" and "--refspec-pattern"). This
is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test
suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and
"refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other.
Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it
obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
