Some workflows require use of repositories on machines that cannot be
connected, preventing use of git-fetch / git-push to transport objects and
references between the repositories.
git-bundle provides an alternate transport mechanism, effectively allowing
git-fetch and git-pull to operate using sneakernet transport. `git-bundle
create` allows the user to create a bundle containing one or more branches
or tags, but with specified basis assumed to exist on the target
repository. At the receiving end, git-bundle acts like git-fetch-pack,
allowing the user to invoke git-fetch or git-pull using the bundle file as
the URL. git-fetch and git-ls-remote determine they have a bundle URL by
checking that the URL points to a file, but are otherwise unchanged in
operation with bundles.
The original patch was done by Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net>.
It was updated to make git-bundle a builtin, and get rid of the tar
format: now, the first line is supposed to say "# v2 git bundle", the next
lines either contain a prerequisite ("-" followed by the hash of the
needed commit), or a ref (the hash of a commit, followed by the name of
the ref), and finally the pack. As a result, the bundle argument can be
"-" now.

Recent commit ae1dffcb28ee89a23f8d2747be65e17c8eab1690 by Junio
changed the way --upload-pack was passed around between clone,
fetch and ls-remote and modified the handling of the command
line parameter parsing.
Unfortunately FreeBSD 6.1 insists that the expression
expr --upload-pack=git-upload-pack : '-[^=]*=\(.*\)'
is illegal, as the --upload-pack option is not supported by their
implementation of expr.
Elsewhere in Git we use z as a leading prefix of both arguments,
ensuring the -- isn't seen by expr.

This makes them consistent with other commands that take the
path to the upload-pack program. We also pass --upload-pack
instead of --exec to the underlying fetch-pack, although it is
not strictly necessary.

The remote server might not want to tell why it doesn't like us for
security reasons, but let's make the client report such error in a bit
less confusing way. The remote failure remains a mystery, but the local
message might be a bit less so.

If http.noEPSV config variable is defined and true, or if
GIT_CURL_FTP_NO_EPSV environment variable is defined, disable using
of EPSV ftp command (PASV will be used instead). This is helpful with
some "poor" ftp servers which does not support EPSV mode.

Proxies should not cache this file as it can cause a client to end up with

git-peek-remote needs to handle a -u|--upload-pack parameter just like
git-fetch (and git-fetch has to pass it on to git-peek-remote).
(This is actually a follow-up to my previous git-fetch patch.)

Another interesting "property" is that from inside a git managed
tree, "git-ls-remote ." names the current repository no matter
how deep a subdirectory you are in.

There is no reason to use git-sh-setup from git-ls-remote.
git-parse-remote can help the caller to use .git/remotes
shortcut if it is run inside a git repository, but can still be
useful outside a git repositoryas long as the caller does not
use any shortcut. Use "git-rev-parse --git-dir" to figure out
where the GIT_DIR is, instead of using git-sh-setup.
This also makes "git-ls-remote origin" to work from inside a
subdirectory of a git managed repository as a side effect.

The part that can fail is before the pipe, so we need to propagate the
error properly to the main process.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.
