Instead of having each imported tar ball's commit message be "Imported
from filename.tar", optionally take a commit message from a file
called "filename.tar.msg". The author and committer of the tar ball
can also be overridden by embedding an "Author:" or "Committer:" header
in the .msg file.

Instead of having a .author and .committer file to override the author
and committer, allow embedding this information in the .msg file, as
suggested by Sam Vilain <sam@xxxxxxxxxx>.
