If a branch name to be merged is misspelled, the command leaked error
messages from underlying plumbing commands, which were helpful only
to people who know how the command are implemented to diagnose the
breakage, but simply puzzling and unhelpful for the end users.

This teaches the oft-requested syntax
git merge $commit
to implement merging the named commit to the current branch.
This hopefully would make "git merge" usable as the first class
UI instead of being a mere backend for "git pull".
Most notably, $commit above can be any committish, so you can
say for example:
git merge js/shortlog~2
to merge early part of a topic branch without merging the rest
of it.
A custom merge message can be given with the new --message=<msg>
parameter. The message is prepended in front of the usual
"Merge ..." message autogenerated with fmt-merge-message.

An earlier commit b37a562a added a check to see if the ref
points at a valid object (as a part of 'negative ref' support
which we currently do not use), but did so only while iterating
over both packed and loose refs, and forgot to apply the same
check while iterating over the remaining ones.
We might want to replace the "if null then omit it" check with
"eh --- what business does a 0{40} value have here?" complaint
later since we currently do not use negative refs, but that is
a separate issue.

Ok, this is a _really_ stupid case, and I don't think it matters, but hey,
we should never SIGSEGV.
Steps to reproduce:
mkdir duh
cd duh
git init-db
git-fmt-merge-msg < /dev/null
will cause a SIGSEGV in cmd_fmt_merge_msg(), because we're doing a
strncmp() with a NULL current_branch.
And yeah, it's an insane schenario, and no, it doesn't really matter. The
only reason I noticed was that a broken version of my "git pull" into an
empty directory would cause this.
This silly patch just replaces the SIGSEGV with a controlled exit with an
error message.

We used to complain that we cannot merge anything we fetched
with a local branch that does not exist yet. Just treat the
case as a natural extension of fast forwarding and make the
local branch'es tip point at the same commit we just fetched.
After all an empty repository without an initial commit is an
ancestor of any commit.

Although I converted upstream coreutils to git last month, I just
reconverted coreutils once again, as a test, and ended up with a
git repository of about 130MB (contrast with my packed git repo of
size 52MB). That was because there were a lot of commits (but < 1024)
after the final automatic "git-repack -a -d".
Running a final
git-repack -a -d && git-prune-packed
cut the final repository size down to the expected size.
So this looks like an easy way to improve git-cvsimport.
Just run "git repack ..." at the end if there's more than
some reasonable amount of not-packed data.
My choice of 1MB is a little arbitrarily. I wouldn't mind missing
the minimal repo size by 1MB. At the other end of the spectrum,
it's probably not worthwhile to pack everything when the total
repository size is less than 1MB.
Here's the patch:

There was a bug in dcommit (and commit-diff) which caused deltas
to be generated against the latest version of the changed file
in a repository, and not the revision we are diffing (the tree)
against locally.
This bug can cause recent changes to the svn repository to be
silently clobbered by git-svn if our repository is out-of-date.

to use the -r/--revision argument. dcommit usage is unchanged.
