2009-06-01environment: add global variable to disable replacementChristian Couder
This new "read_replace_refs" global variable is set to 1 by default, so that replace refs are used by default. But reachability traversal and packing commands ("cmd_fsck", "cmd_prune", "cmd_pack_objects", "upload_pack", "cmd_unpack_objects") set it to 0, as they must work with the original DAG.

2009-06-01replace_object: add mechanism to replace objects found in "refs/replace/"Christian Couder
The code implementing this mechanism has been copied more-or-less from the commit graft code. This mechanism is used in "read_sha1_file". sha1 passed to this function that match a ref name in "refs/replace/" are replaced by the sha1 that has been read in the ref. We "die" if the replacement recursion depth is too high or if we can't read the replacement object.
