Subject: fast-import.c: cleanup using strbuf_set operations
This might read more clearly if written:

    fast-import: simplify via strbuf_set()
Simplified cases where a strbuf_reset was immediately followed by a
strbuf_add using the new strbuf_set operations.
On this project, commit messages are written in imperative mood:

    Simplify cases where ... is immediately ...

Unlike the cases in patches 3/5 and 5/5 where the strbuf is used or
returned immediately following the strbuf_set() call, I am not
convinced that this change is an improvement. This code has the
general form:

    strbuf_reset(...);
    strbuf_add(...);
    if (condition)
        strbuf_add(...);
    strbuf_add(...);

in which it is clear that the string is being built piecemeal, and
it's easy for a programmer to insert, remove, or re-order strbuf_add()
calls.

Replacing the first two lines with strbuf_set() somewhat obscures the
fact that the string is going to be built up piecemeal. Plus, the
change makes it more difficult to insert, remove, or re-order the
strbuf_add() invocations.

This isn't a strong objection, but the benefit of the change seems
minimal or non-existent.

Ditto for several remaining cases in this patch.
