git-fast-import(1): reorganise options

Browse source 
The options in git-fast-import(1) are not currently arranged in a
logical order, which has caused the '--done' options to be documented
twice (commit 3266de10).

Rearrange them into logical groups under subheadings.

OPTIONS
-------
--date-format=<fmt>::
Specify the type of dates the frontend will supply to
fast-import within `author`, `committer` and `tagger` commands.
See ``Date Formats'' below for details about which formats
are supported, and their syntax.
--force::
Force updating modified existing branches, even if doing
so would cause commits to be lost (as the new commit does
not contain the old commit).
--max-pack-size=<n>::
Maximum size of each output packfile.
The default is unlimited.
--quiet::
Disable all non-fatal output, making fast-import silent when it
is successful. This option disables the output shown by
\--stats.
--big-file-threshold=<n>::
Maximum size of a blob that fast-import will attempt to
create a delta for, expressed in bytes. The default is 512m
(512 MiB). Some importers may wish to lower this on systems
with constrained memory.
--stats::
Display some basic statistics about the objects fast-import has
created, the packfiles they were stored into, and the
memory used by fast-import during this run. Showing this output
is currently the default, but can be disabled with \--quiet.
--depth=<n>::
Maximum delta depth, for blob and tree deltification.
Default is 10.
Options for Frontends
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--active-branches=<n>::
Maximum number of branches to maintain active at once.
See ``Memory Utilization'' below for details. Default is 5.
--cat-blob-fd=<fd>::
Specify the file descriptor that will be written to
when the `cat-blob` command is encountered in the stream.
The default behaviour is to write to `stdout`.
--date-format=<fmt>::
Specify the type of dates the frontend will supply to
fast-import within `author`, `committer` and `tagger` commands.
See ``Date Formats'' below for details about which formats
are supported, and their syntax.
--done::
Terminate with error if there is no `done` command at the end of
the stream. This option might be useful for detecting errors
that cause the frontend to terminate before it has started to
write a stream.
Locations of Marks Files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--export-marks=<file>::
Dumps the internal marks table to <file> when complete.
