Git 2.0: git svn: Set default --prefix='origin/' if --prefix is not given

git-svn by default puts its Subversion-tracking refs directly in
refs/remotes/*. This runs counter to Git's convention of using
refs/remotes/$remote/* for storing remote-tracking branches.

Furthermore, combining git-svn with regular git remotes run the risk of
clobbering refs under refs/remotes (e.g. if you have a git remote
called "tags" with a "v1" branch, it will overlap with the git-svn's
tracking branch for the "v1" tag from Subversion.

Even though the git-svn refs stored in refs/remotes/* are not "proper"
remote-tracking branches (since they are not covered by a proper git
remote's refspec), they clearly represent a similar concept, and would
benefit from following the same convention.

For example, if git-svn tracks Subversion branch "foo" at
refs/remotes/foo, and you create a local branch refs/heads/foo to add
some commits to be pushed back to Subversion (using "git svn dcommit),
then it is clearly unhelpful of Git to throw

  warning: refname 'foo' is ambiguous.

every time you checkout, rebase, or otherwise interact with the branch.

The existing workaround for this is to supply the --prefix=quux/ to
git svn init/clone, so that git-svn's tracking branches end up in
refs/remotes/quux/* instead of refs/remotes/*. However, encouraging
users to specify --prefix to work around a design flaw in git-svn is
suboptimal, and not a long term solution to the problem. Instead,
git-svn should default to use a non-empty prefix that saves
unsuspecting users from the inconveniences described above.

This patch will only affect newly created git-svn setups, as the
--prefix option only applies to git svn init (and git svn clone).
Existing git-svn setups will continue with their existing (lack of)
prefix. Also, if anyone somehow prefers git-svn's old layout, they
can recreate that by explicitly passing an empty prefix (--prefix "")
on the git svn init/clone command line.

The patch changes the default value for --prefix from "" to "origin/",
updates the git-svn manual page, and fixes the fallout in the git-svn
testcases.

(Note that this patch might be easier to review using the --word-diff
and --word-diff-regex=. diff options.)

Add concept of 'publish' branch

The publish branch is the branch the user wants to push to, akin to the
upstream branch, which is the branch the user wants to use as a
baseline. It overrides other configurations, such as push.default, and
remote.<name>.push.

The upstream branch is:

  branch.$name.remote
  branch.$name.merge

The publish branch is:

  branch.$name.pushremote
  branch.$name.push

Make sure the marks are not written out when the transport helper

until getting an OK from Felipe on the conflict resolution and then
hopefully can be merged to 'next' and then later to 'master'.

Merge branch 'ks/tree-diff-nway' into jch

Instead of running N pair-wise diff-trees when inspecting a
N-parent merge, find the set of paths that were touched by walking
N+1 trees in parallel.  These set of paths can then be turned into
N pair-wise diff-tree results to be processed through rename
detections and such.  And N=2 case nicely degenerates to the usual
2-way diff-tree, which is very nice.

  mingw: activate alloca
  combine-diff: speed it up, by using multiparent diff tree-walker directly
  tree-diff: rework diff_tree() to generate diffs for multiparent cases as well
