When refactoring code to split one iteration of a too deeply
nested loop into a separate function, it inevitably makes the
indentation levels shallower (that's the sole point of such a
refactoring). With "git blame -w", you can ignore such
re-indentation and pass blame for such moved lines to the
parent.

The path submitted with the Root request has to be absolute
(cvs does it this way and it may save us some sanity checks
later)
If multiple roots are specified (e.g. because we use
pserver authentication which will already include the
root), ensure that they say all the same.
Probably neither is a security risk, and neither should ever
be triggered by a sane client, but when validating
input data, it's better to be save than sorry.

Although it is not advisable, we have always allowed a branch
and a tag to have the same basename (i.e. it is not illegal to
have refs/heads/frotz and refs/tags/frotz at the same time).
When talking about a specific commit, the interpretation of
'frotz' has always been "use tag and then check branch",
although we warn when ambiguities exist.
However "git checkout $name" is defined to (1) first see if it
matches the branch name, and if so switch to that branch; (2)
otherwise it is an instruction to detach HEAD to point at the
commit named by $name. We did not follow this definition when
$name appeared under both refs/heads/ and refs/tags/ -- we
switched to the branch but read the tree from the tagged commit,
which was utterly bogus.

Though this probably should be a user defined color, or at least

Currently git-cvsimport tries to create tag objects directly via git-mktag
in a very broken way, e.g the stuff it writes into the tagger field of
the tag object doesn't really resemble the GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT. This makes
gitweb and possibly other tools that try to interpret tag objects to be
confused about tag date and authorship.
Fix this by calling git-tag instead. This also has a nice side effect of
not creating the tag object but only the lightweight tag as that's the only
thing CVS has anyways.

cvsimport creates any branches found in the remote CVS repository
in the refs/heads namespace. This makes sense for a repository
conversion. When using git as a sane interface to a remote CVS
repository, that repository may well remain as the 'master'
respository. In this model it makes sense to import the CVS
repository into the refs/remotes namespace.
Add a new option '-r <remote>' to set the remote name for
this import. When this option is specified branches are named
refs/remotes/<remote>/branch, with HEAD named as master matching
git-clone separate remotes layout. Without branches are placed
ion refs/heads, with HEAD named origin as before.
