Subject: Add support for "import" helper command
X-Git-Tag: v1.7.0-rc0~101^2~16
X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e65e91ed4af5ed9c5c810a2cd77b8648a0287e66;p=git.git

Add support for "import" helper command

This command, supported if the "import" capability is advertized,
allows a helper to support fetching by outputting a git-fast-import
stream.

If both "fetch" and "import" are advertized, git itself will use
"fetch" (although other users may use "import" in this case).
