Give "update-refs" a "--stdin" option to read multiple update
requests and perform them in an all-or-none fashion.
* bk/refs-multi-update:
update-ref: add test cases covering --stdin signature
update-ref: support multiple simultaneous updates
refs: add update_refs for multiple simultaneous updates
refs: add function to repack without multiple refs
refs: factor delete_ref loose ref step into a helper
refs: factor update_ref steps into helpers
refs: report ref type from lock_any_ref_for_update
reset: rename update_refs to reset_refs
Add a --stdin signature to read update instructions from standard input
and apply multiple ref updates together. Use an input format that
supports any update that could be specified via the command-line,
including object names like "branch:path with space".

This task emerged from b04ba2bb (parse-options: deprecate OPT_BOOLEAN,
2011-09-27). All occurrences of the respective variables have
been reviewed and none of them relied on the counting up mechanism,
but all of them were using the variable as a true boolean.
This patch does not change semantics of any command intentionally.

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.
