It is not a portable expectation that a single-shot environment
variable assignment works when calling a shell function, not a
command.
Set and export the variable before calling "test_must_fail git push"
instead. This change would not hurt because this is the last
command in the subprocess and the environment will not seep through
to later tests without using a single-shot assignment.

When pushing, the remote namespace is updated correctly
(e.g. refs/origin/master), but not the remote helper's
(e.g. refs/testgit/origin/master), which currently is only
updated while fetching.
Since the remote namespace is used to tell fast-export which commits
to avoid (because they were already imported/exported), it makes
sense to have them in sync so they don't get generated twice. If the
remote helper was implemented properly, they would be ignored, if
not, they probably would end up repeated.

For the modes that need it. In the future we should probably error out,
instead of providing half-assed support.
The reason we want to do this is because if it's not present, the remote
helper might be updating refs/heads/*, or refs/remotes/origin/*,
directly, and in the process fetch will get confused trying to update
refs that are already updated, or older than what they should be. We
shouldn't be messing with the rest of git.

This has never worked, since it's inception the code simply skips all
the refs, essentially telling fast-export to do nothing.
Let's at least tell the user what's going on.

If there's already a remote-helper tracking ref, we can fetch the SHA-1
to report proper push messages (as opposed to always reporting
[new branch]).
The remote-helper currently can specify the old SHA-1 to avoid this
problem, but there's no point in forcing all remote-helpers to be aware
of git commit ids; they should be able to be agnostic of them.

When we try to read from a remote-helper and get EOF or an
error, we print a message indicating that the helper died.
However, users may not know that a remote helper was in use
(e.g., when using git-over-http), or even what a remote
helper is.
Let's print the name of the helper (e.g., "git-remote-https");
this makes it more obvious what the program is for, and
provides a useful token for reporting bugs or searching for
more information (e.g., in manpages).

If a push fails because the remote-helper died (with fast-export),
the user may not see any error message. We do correctly die with a
failed exit code, as we notice that the helper has died while
reading back the ref status from the helper. However, we don't print
any message. This is OK if the helper itself printed a useful error
message, but we cannot count on that; let's let the user know that
the helper failed.
In the long run, it may make more sense to propagate the error back
up to push, so that it can present the usual status table and give a
nicer message. But this is a much simpler fix that can help
immediately.
While we're adding tests, let's also confirm that the remote-helper
dying is also detected when importing refs. We currently do so
robustly when the helper uses the "done" feature (and that is what
we test). We cannot do so reliably when the helper does not use the
"done" feature, but it is not even worth testing; the right solution
is for the helper to start using "done".

When an object has already been exported (and thus is in the marks) it's
flagged as SHOWN, so it will not be exported again, even if in a later
time it's exported through a different ref.
We don't need the object to be exported again, but we want the ref
updated, which doesn't happen.
Since we can't know if a ref was exported or not, let's just assume that
if the commit was marked (flags & SHOWN), the user still wants the ref
updated.
IOW: If it's specified in the command line, it will get updated,
regardless of whether or not the object was marked.
So:
% git branch test master
% git fast-export $mark_flags master
% git fast-export $mark_flags test
Would export 'test' properly.
Additionally, this fixes issues with remote helpers; now they can push
refs whose objects have already been exported, and a few other issues as
well. Update the tests accordingly.

They have been marked as UNINTERESTING for a reason, lets respect
that. Currently the first ref is handled properly, but not the
rest. Assuming that all the refs point at the same commit in the
following example:
% git fast-export master ^uninteresting ^foo ^bar
reset refs/heads/bar
from :0
reset refs/heads/foo
from :0
reset refs/heads/uninteresting
from :0
% git fast-export ^uninteresting ^foo ^bar master
reset refs/heads/master
from :0
reset refs/heads/bar
from :0
reset refs/heads/foo
from :0
Clearly this is wrong; the negative refs should be ignored.
After this patch:
% git fast-export ^uninteresting ^foo ^bar master
# nothing
% git fast-export master ^uninteresting ^foo ^bar
# nothing
And even more, it would only happen if the ref is pointing to exactly
the same commit, but not otherwise:
% git fast-export ^next next
reset refs/heads/next
from :0
% git fast-export ^next next^{commit}
# nothing
% git fast-export ^next next~0
# nothing
% git fast-export ^next next~1
# nothing
% git fast-export ^next next~2
# nothing
The reason this happens is that before traversing the commits,
fast-export checks if any of the refs point to the same object, and any
duplicated ref gets added to a list in order to issue 'reset' commands
after the traversing. Unfortunately, it's not even checking if the
commit is flagged as UNINTERESTING. The fix of course, is to check it.
However, in order to do it properly we need to get the UNINTERESTING
flag from the command line, not from the commit object, because
"^foo bar" will mark the commit 'bar' uninteresting if foo and bar
points at the same commit. rev_cmdline_info, which was introduced
exactly to handle this situation, contains all the information we
need for get_tags_and_duplicates(), plus the ref flag. This way the
rest of the positive refs will remain untouched; it's only the
negative ones that change in behavior.

Exercising the python remote helper framework is for another tool and
another test. This is about testing the remote-helper interface.
It's way simpler, it exercises the same features of remote helpers, it's
easy to read and understand, and it doesn't depend on python.
For now let's just copy the old remote-helpers test script, although
some of those tests don't make sense. In addition, this script would be
able to test other features not currently being tested.
