The function takes a user-supplied string that is supposed to be a branch
name, and puts it in a strbuf after expanding possible shorthand notation.

A handful of open coded sequence to do this in the existing code have been
changed to use this helper function.

These allow you to say "git checkout @{-2}" to switch to the branch two
"branch switching" ago by pretending as if you typed the name of that
branch.  As it is likely that we will be introducing more short-hands to
write the name of a branch without writing it explicitly, rename the
functions from "nth_last_branch" to more generic "branch_name", to prepare
for different semantics.

When --pickaxe-regex is used, forward past the end of matches instead of
advancing to the byte after their start.  This way matches count only
once, even if the regular expression matches their tail -- like in the
fixed-string fork of the code.

E.g.: /.*/ used to count the number of bytes instead of the number of
lines.  /aa/ resulted in a count of two in "aaa" instead of one.

Also document the fact that regexec() needs a NUL-terminated string as
its second argument by adding an assert().

Without --attach/--inline but with --stdout, --numbered-files option
can be simply ignored, because we are not creating any file ourselves.

The import-tars script is typically employed to (re)create the past
history of a project from stored tars. Although assigning authorship in
these cases can be a somewhat arbitrary process, it makes sense to set
the author to whoever created the tars in the first place (if it's
known), and (s)he can in general be different from the committer
(whoever is running the script).

Implement this by having separate author and committer data, making them
settable from the usual GIT_* environment variables.

MSYS's bash rewrites /something/bin/... into a Windows path that looks like
c:/msysgit/something/bin/... before git sees it. But later the test case
verifies that the path was used and compares it to the unmangled version.
This fails, of course. This make the path relative so that the path
mangling is not triggered.
