 Updates transport-helper, fast-import and fast-export to allow the
 ref mapping and ref deletion in a way similar to the natively
 supported transports.

 Will merge to 'next'.

Commit ad24a30ef ("fast-export: add new --refspec option", 31-10-2013)
causes sparse to complain:

      SP builtin/fast-export.c
  builtin/fast-export.c:739:55: warning: Variable length array is used.

Good eyes, and no---this needs to be fixed before going forward.

Thanks for spotting.
