[PATCH v4 00/19] Make git-pull a builtin

This is a re-roll of [v3]. It squashes in Ramsay's patch "fix some sparse warnings", and fixes the use-before-free reported by Duy. Thanks a lot for dealing with my mess :-).

Other than that, there are no other changes as I'm working on the git-am side of things.

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].
