Make sure we flush our userspace buffers and and fsync(2)
.rev_db information to disk if we use these options because
we really don't want to lose this information.
Also, disallow --use-svm-props and --no-metadata from the
command-line because history will be inconsistent if they're
only used occasionally. If a user wants to use these options,
they must be set in the config so they're always on.

Since refs/remotes/* are not automatically cloned, we expect the
user to be capable of copying those references themselves
anyways.
Also removed the documentation for --ignore-nodate while we're

git-diff: fix combined diff
Fix 'git commit -a' in a newly initialized repository
Include git-gui credits file in dist.
Document the new core.bare configuration option.
In response to a feature request from Shawn Pearce, this patch allows
a user to update a named group of remotes by using "git remote update
<group>", where the group is defined in the config file by
remotes.<group>. The default if the named group is not specified is
now fetched group remotes.default, instead of remote.fetch, which is
what had been previously used.
In addition, if remotes.default is not defined, all remotes defined in
the config file will be used, as before, but there is now also
possible to request that a particular repository to be skipped by
default by using the boolean configuration parameter
remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate.

Documentation advertises the new `--depth <n>' parameter with an equal
sign, while the usage notes (shown after `git-clone --help') do not. If I
understood git-clone's source code correctly, the version without the
equal sign is correct, which is why this patch syncs documentation to the
usage note.

the other one breaks it when set to false.

It was suggested on the mailing list that being able to use `from`
in any commit to reset the current branch is useful in some types of
importers, such as a darcs importer.
We originally did not permit resetting an existing branch with a
new `from` command during a `commit` command, but this restriction
was only to help debug the hacked up cvs2svn that Jon Smirl was
developing in parallel with git-fast-import. It is probably more
of a problem to disallow it than to allow it. So now we permit a
`from` during any `commit`.
While making the changes required to permit multiple `from`
commands on the same branch, I discovered we no longer needed the
last_commit field to be set to 0 during a reset, so that was removed.
(Reset was originally setting the field to 0 to signal cmd_from()
that it was OK to execute on the branch.)
While poking around in this section of fast-import I also realized
the `reset` command was not working as intended if the corresponding
`from` command was omitted (as allowed by the BNF grammar and the
code). If `from` was omitted we cleared out the tree but we left
the tree SHA-1 and parent commit SHA-1 intact. This is not what
the user intended in this case. Instead they would be trying to
reset the branch to have no parent and to have no tree, making the
branch look new-born during the next commit. We now clear these
SHA-1 values during `reset`, ensuring the branch looks new-born if
`from` does not get supplied.
New test cases for these were also added.

* 'master' of git://repo.or.cz/git/fastimport:
bash: Hide git-fast-import.
fast-import: Add tip about importing renames.
fast-import: Hide the pack boundary commits by default.
Most users don't need the pack boundary information that fast-import
was printing to standard output, especially if they were calling
it with --quiet.
Those users who do want this information probably want it captured
so they can go back and use it to repack the imported repository.
So dumping the boundary commits to a log file makes more sense then
printing them to standard output.
