[PATCH v2] Add script for importing bits-and-pieces to Git.

[Peter Krefting <peter@softwolves.pp.se>]

Allows the user to import version history that is stored in bits and
pieces in the file system, for instance snapshots of old development
trees, or day-by-day backups. A configuration file is used to
describe the relationship between the different files and allow
describing branches and merges, as well as authorship and commit
messages.

Output is created in a format compatible with git-fast-import.

Full documentation is provided inline in perldoc format.

Changed the use of stat() as suggested by Thomas Adam.

+=head1 NAME
+
+import-directories - Import bits and pieces to Git.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<import-directories.perl> F<configfile>
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Script to import arbitrary projects version controlled by the "copy the
+source directory to a new location and edit it there"-version controlled
+projects into version control. Handles projects with arbitrary branching
+and version trees, taking a file describing the inputs and generating a
+file compatible with the L<git-fast-import(1)> format.
+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION FILE
+
+=head2 Format
+
+The configuration file is using a standard I<.ini> format.
+
+ ; Comments start with semi-colons
+ [section]
+ key=value
+
+=head2 Global configuration
+
+Global configuration is done in the B<[config]> section, which should be
+the first section in the file. Configuration can be changed by
+repeating configuration sections later on.
+
+ [config]
+ ; configure conversion of CRLFs. "convert" means that all CRLFs
+ ; should be converted into LFs (suitable for the core.autocrlf
+ ; setting set to true in Git). "none" means that all data is
+ ; treated as binary.
+ crlf=convert
+
+=head2 Revision configuration
+
+Each revision that is to be imported is described in three
+sections. Sections should be defined chronologically, so that a
+revision's parent has always been defined when a new revision
+is introduced. All sections for one revision should be defined
+before defining the next revision.
+
+Revisions are specified numerically, but they numbers need not be
+consecutive, only unique.
+
+=pod
+
+=head3 Revision description section
+
+A section whose section name is just an integer gives meta-data
+about the revision.
+
+ [3]
+ ; author sets the author of the revisions
+ author=Peter Krefting <peter@softwolves.pp.se>
+ ; branch sets the branch that the revision should be committed to
+ branch=master
+ ; parent describes the revision that is the parent of this commit
+ ; (optional)
+ parent=1
+ ; merges describes a revision that is merged into this commit
+ ; (optional; can be repeated)
+ merges=2
+ ; selects one file to take the timestamp from
+ ; (optional; if unspecified, the most recent file from the .files
+ ;  section is used)
+ timestamp=3/source.c
+
+=head3 Revision contents section
+
+A section whose section name is an integer followed by B<.files>
+describes the files included in this revision.
+
+ [3.files]
+ ; the key is the path inside the repository, the value is the path
+ ; as seen from the importer script.
+ source.c=3/source.c
+ source.h=3/source.h
+
+=head3 Revision commit message section
+
+A section whose section name is an integer followed by B<.message>
+gives the commit message. This section is read verbatim.
+
+ [3.message]
+ Implement foobar.
+ ; trailing blank lines are ignored.
