If the "--metainfo=<ext>" option is given on the command line, a file
called "<filename.tar>.<ext>" will be used to create the commit message
for "<filename.tar>", instead of using "Imported from filename.tar".
The author and committer of the tar ball can also be overridden by
embedding an "Author:" or "Committer:" header in the metainfo file.

This version adds a command line option --metainfo that is used to
enable the new behaviour, as suggested by Junio C Hamano.
