[PATCH] fast-import: catch garbage after marks in from/merge

From
PWPete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com>

<20120401225407.GA12127@padd.com>

A forgotten LF can lead to a confusing bug. The last line in this commit command is wrong:

    commit refs/heads/S2
    committer Name <name@example.com> 1112912893 -0400
    data <<COMMIT
    commit message
    COMMIT
    from :1M 100644 :103 hello.c
It is missing a newline and should be:
    from :1
    M 100644 :103 hello.c

Make fast-import complain about the buggy input, for both from and merge lines that use marks.

I spent too long tracking down the bug described in the
commit message.  It might help future users if fast-import
were to complain in this case.
