[PATCH v3 00/19] Make git-pull a builtin

[Paul Tan <pyokagan@gmail.com>]

This is a re-roll of [v2]. Thanks Junio, Stefan for the reviews last round.

Previous versions:

git-pull is a commonly executed command to check for new changes in the
upstream repository and, if there are, fetch and integrate them into the
current branch. Currently it is implemented by the shell script git-pull.sh.
However, compared to C, shell scripts have certain deficiencies -- they need to
spawn a lot of processes, introduce a lot of dependencies and cannot take
advantage of git's internal caches.

This series rewrites git-pull.sh into a C builtin, thus improving its
performance and portability. It is part of my GSoC project to rewrite git-pull
and git-am into builtins[1].
