[PATCH 00/23] builtin-remote improvments

Junio, this is a big series, so let me explain.

Patches 1-5 are js/remote-set-head, but rebased on master (2d602e9). I did this because patch 18 in this series depends on commit cfa1ee6 which is now in master, but was not when you originally spawned js/remote-set-head. I also corrected two failing tests in #3.

Patches 6-18 are the 13 patch series I sent out earlier, directly on-top of 1-5, instead of on pu. I incorporated the feedback I received, and re-ordered the patches to put all the refactoring, as well as non-builtin-remote changes, first among the 13.

Patches 19-23 are jk/head-lookup, now based at the end of my changes. Previously they were effectively between 1-5 and 6-18.

You might consider applying #6 (make match_refs() copy src...) independently to master if it is obvious enough, but in any case it has to come before #18 in this series.

I wasn't sure what to do about the SOB on the rebased patches, so I kept Jeff's, removed yours, and added my own. Please correct me if this was the wrong thing to do.

Finally, I've and compiled and run t5505-remote.sh after each individual commit, as well as the entire default test suite (but w/NO_SVN_TESTS=YesPlease) after #10 and #23.

Thank you for your patience with this topic.
