There is no good reason to expose the negotiation as a different step
to downloading the packfile.

See `global.c` for a description of what we're doing.
When libgit2 is built with GIT_THREADS support, the threading system
must be explicitly initialized with `git_threads_init()`.
This new version of the references code is significantly faster and
hopefully easier to read.
External API stays the same. A new method `git_reference_reload()` has
been added to force updating a memory reference from disk. In-memory
references are no longer updated automagically -- this was killing us.
If a reference is deleted externally and the user doesn't reload the
memory object, nothing critical happens: any functions using that
reference should fail gracefully (e.g. deletion, renaming, and so on).
All generated references from the API are read only and must be free'd
by the user. There is no reference counting and no traces of generated
references are kept in the library.
There is no longer an internal representation for references. There is
only one reference struct `git_reference`, and symbolic/oid targets are
stored inside an union.
Packfile references are stored using an optimized struct with flex array
for reference names. This should significantly reduce the memory cost of
loading the packfile from disk.
Currently libgit2 shares pointers to its internal reference cache with
the user. This leads to several problems like invalidation of reference
pointers when reordering the cache or manipulation of the cache from
user side.
Give each user its own git_reference instead of leaking the internal
representation (struct reference).
Add the following new API functions:
* git_reference_free
* git_reference_is_packed

Our previous assumption that all paths in Windows are encoded in UTF-8
is rather weak, specially when considering that Git is
encoding-agnostic.
These set of functions allow the user to change the library's active
codepage globally, so it is possible to access paths and files on all
international versions of Windows.
Note that the default encoding here is UTF-8 because we assume that 99%
of all Git repositories will be in UTF-8.
Also, if you use non-ascii characters in paths, anywhere, please burn on
a fire.
git_repository_config wants to take the global and system paths again
so that one can be explicit if needed.
The git_repository_config_autoload function is provided for the cases
when it's good enough for the library to guess where those files are
located.

There were quite a few places were spaces were being used instead of
tabs. Try to catch them all. This should hopefully not break anything.
Except for `git blame`. Oh well.
1. The license header is technically not valid if it doesn't have a
copyright signature.
2. The COPYING file has been updated with the different licenses used in
the project.
3. The full GPLv2 header in each file annoys me.
As we no longer expose the transport functions, this is now the only
way to connect to a remote when given an URL instead of a remote name

There is no need to inspect what the local repository is like. Only
check whether the objects exist locally.

This function updates the references in the local reference storage to
match the ones in the remote.

Provide the git_remote_download function to instruct the library to
downlad the packfile and let the user know the temporary location.
