[PATCH v2 0/3] contrib/subtree: reduce recursion during split

* cs/subtree-split-recursion: when processing large history
  graphs on Debian or Ubuntu, "git subtree" can die with a
  "recursion depth reached" error. Reduce recursion.

On Debian's POSIX sh, shell recursion is artificially limited to 1000 calls. You can check if your sh has limited recursion with:

    #!/bin/sh
    recurse() {
        r=$(( r + 1 ))
        test "$r" -le 1000 || { echo OK; exit; }
        recurse
    } && r=0 && recurse

Depending on the history graph, subtree split can recurse deeply enough to encounter this limit. Rewrite the rejoin-deepening algorithm to reduce recursive calls.
