[PATCH v2 1/9] sequencer: add "do_fast_forward()" to perform a fast forward

[Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>]

From: Stephan Beyer <s-beyer@gmx.net>

This code is taken from the sequencer GSoC project:

    git://repo.or.cz/git/sbeyer.git

    (commit e7b8dab0c2a73ade92017a52bb1405ea1534ef20)

but the messages have been changed to be the same as those
displayed by git-rebase--interactive.sh.
