[PATCH] create tar archives of tree on the fly

This is an improved version of tar-tree, a streaming archive creator for
GIT.  The major added feature is blocking; all write(2) calls now have a
size of 10240, just as GNU tar (and tape drives) likes them.  The
buffering overhead does not seem to degrade performance because most
files in the repositories I tested this with are smaller than 10KB, so
we need fewer system calls.

File names are still restricted to 500 bytes and the archive format
currently only allows for files up to 8GB.  Both restrictions can be
lifted if need be with more pax extended headers.

The archive format used is the pax interchange format, i.e.  POSIX tar
format.  It can be read by (and created with) GNU tar.  If I read the
specs correctly tar-tree should now be standards compliant (modulo
bugs).

Because it streams the archive (think ls-tree merged with cat-file),
tar-tree doesn't need to create any temporary files.  That makes it
quite fast.

It accepts tree IDs and commit IDs as first parameter.  In the latter
case tar-tree tries to get the commit date out of the committer line.
Else all files in the archive are time-stamped with the current time.

An optional second parameter is used as a path prefix for all files in
the archive.  Example:

   $ tar-tree a2755a80f40e5794ddc20e00f781af9d6320fafb \
   linux-2.6.12-rc3 | bzip9 -9 > linux-2.6.12-rc3.tar.bz2

The parameters for an external diff command are as follows:

  name        this invocation of the command is to emit diff
      for the named cache/tree entry.

  file1       pathname that holds the contents of the first

      tree, or a temporary file created from the blob

      attempt to unlink it -- the temporary is

  file1-sha1  sha1 hash if file1 is a blob object, or "."
      otherwise.

  file1-mode  mode bits for file1, or "." for a deleted file.

If GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment variable is not set, the

show-diff uses; the same external diff interface introduced by
the previous patch to drive diff from show-diff is used so this
is not surprising.

It is used like the following examples:

   $ diff-cache --cached -z <tree> | diff-tree-helper -z -R paths...
   $ diff-tree -r -z <tree1> <tree2> | diff-tree-helper -z paths...

 - As usual, the use of the -z flag is recommended in the script
   to pass NUL-terminated filenames through the pipe between
   commands.

 - The -R flag is used to generate reverse diff.  It does not
   matter for diff-tree case, but it is sometimes useful to get
   a patch in the desired direction out of diff-cache.

 - The paths parameters are used to restrict the paths that
   appears in the output.  Again this is useful to use with
   diff-cache, which, unlike diff-tree, does not take such paths
