[PATCH] clone-pack: new option --keep to keep the pack unexploded.

With new option --keep, or a configuration item clone.keeppack (we need a better name, or start allowing dash,"clone.keep-pack"), the packed data downloaded while cloning is saved as a pack in .git/objects/pack/ locally, with index generated for it with git-index-pack.

 * Here is how to use it.

    $ mkdir test
    $ cd test
    $ git-init-db
    defaulting to local storage area
    $ git-clone-pack --keep ../other/repo/sito/ry/.git
    Packing 9044 objects
    $ git-checkout

   After cloning, you would notice there is no individual
   objects; instead you will find a single packfile in
   .git/objects/pack/ directory.
