[PATCH v2 05/20] teach remote-testgit to import non-HEAD refs

From: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

Upon receiving an "import" command, the testgit remote helper would ignore the ref asked for by git and generate a fast-export stream based on HEAD. Instead, we should actually give git the ref it asked for.

This requires adding a new parameter to the export_repo method in the remote-helpers python library, which may be used by code outside of git.git. We use a default parameter so that callers without the new parameter will get the same behavior as before.

  Fixed spurious appending of "HEAD" noticed by Junio.
