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.

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::".
