Before "use Git" takes effect, we would need to set up the Perl
library path to point at the local installation location. So
that instruction needs to be in BEGIN{} block.
Pointed out and fixed by Pavel Roskin.

git-mv needs to be run from the base directory so that
the check if a file is under revision also covers files
outside of a subdirectory. Previously, e.g. in the git repo,
cd Documentation; git-mv ../README .
produced the error
Error: '../README' not under version control
The test is extended for this case; it previously only tested
one direction.

Moving a directory ending in a slash was not working as the
destination was not calculated correctly.
E.g. in the git repo,
git-mv t/ Documentation
gave the error
Error: destination 'Documentation' already exists
To get rid of this problem, strip trailing slashes from all arguments.
The comment in cg-mv made me curious about this issue; Pasky, thanks!
As result, the workaround in cg-mv is not needed any more.
Also, another bug was shown by cg-mv. When moving files outside of
a subdirectory, it typically calls git-mv with something like
git-mv Documentation/git.txt Documentation/../git-mv.txt
which triggers the following error from git-update-index:
Ignoring path Documentation/../git-mv.txt
The result is a moved file, removed from git revisioning, but not
added again. To fix this, the paths have to be normalized not have ".."
in the middle. This was already done in git-mv, but only for
a better visual appearance :(

This fixes "git-mv -h" to output the usage without the need
to be in a git repository.
Additionally:
- fix confusing error message when only one arg was given
- fix typo in error message

Turns out, all git programs git-mv uses are capable of operating in
a subdirectory just fine. So don't complain about it.
[jc: I think that sounds sane. You need to grab the exit status from
`git-rev-parse --git-dir`, which I added. Alex Riesen says this
worked fine.]

-k requests to keep running on an error condition.
Previously, git-mv stopped on failing renames even with -k.
There are some error conditions which are not checked in the
first phase of git-mv, eg. 'permission denied'. Still, option
-k should work.

This gives a better error message when trying to move a directory
into some subdirectory of itself; ie. no real bug fix: renaming
already failed before, but with a strange "invalid argument".

When doing multiple renames, and a rename in the middle fails,
git-mv did not store the successful renames in the git index;
this is fixed by delaying the error message on a failed rename
to after the git updating.

Small fixes to be consistent with other git scripts:
- usage message is only about options and arguments
- on error, exit(1) without the usage message
Additionally, "beautifies" output with -n a little bit

Use update-index --stdin to handle large number of files without
breaking exec() argument storage limit.

This is fixed by putting the file into @changedfiles/@addedfiles,
and not the directory this file is in.
Additionally, this fixes the behavior for attempting to overwrite
a file with a directory, and gives a message for all cases where
overwriting is not possible (file->dir,dir->file,dir->dir).
Thanks for Alexander Litvinov for noting this problem.

Needed because generating a target paths will add another slash.
This fixes e.g. "git-mv file dir/", which removed "file" from
version control by renaming it to "dir//file", as
git-update-index does not accept such paths.

When moving multiple files at once, it can happen that
files get the same target name, like in
git-mv a/foo b/foo destdir
Both a/foo and b/foo target destdir/foo.

It supersedes git-rename by adding functionality to move multiple
files, directories or symlinks into another directory. It also
provides according documentation.
The implementation renames multiple files, using the arguments from
the command line to produce an array of sources and destinations. In
a first pass, all requested renames are checked for errors, and
overwriting of existing files is only allowed with '-f'. The actual
renaming is done in a second pass. This ensures that any error
condition is checked before anything is changed.
