Merge branch 'master' into sp/fast-import
I'm bringing master in early so that the OBJ_OFS_DELTA implementation is available as part of the topic. This way git-fast-import can learn about this new slightly smaller and faster packfile format, and can generate them directly rather than needing to have them be repacked with git-pack-objects. Due to the API changes in master during the period of development of git-fast-import, a few minor tweaks to fast-import.c are needed to produce a working merge. I've done them here as part of the merge to ensure bisection always works. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

point out some special detail about the sign-off.
