This patch fixes issues mentioned by Junio, Nico and Simon:
- I forgot to convert the usage string when removing the "--" from
the subcommands,
- a style fix in the bundle_header,
- use xread() instead of read(),
- use write_or_die() instead of write(),
- make the bundle header extensible,
- fail if the whitespace after a sha1 of a reference is missing,
- close() the fds passed to a subprocess,
- in verify_bundle(), do not use "rev-list --stdin", but rather
pass the revs directly (avoiding a fork()),
- fix a corrupted comment in show_object(), and
- fix the size check in index_pack.

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.
