With "--state-branch=<branchname>" option, the mapping from old object names
and filtered ones in ./map/ directory is stashed away in the object database,
and the one from the previous run is read to populate the ./map/ directory,
allowing for incremental updates of large trees.

I have been using this as part of the device tree extraction from the Linux
kernel source since 2013, about time I sent the patch upstream!
v2:
- added several preceding cleanup patches, including:
- new: use of mktag --allow-missing tagger.
- split-out: preserving $GIT_*.
- use git rev-parse rather than git show-ref.
- improved error handling for Perl sub-processes.
- collapsed some shell pipelines involving piping output of git and ls into
Perl into the Perl scripts.
- style fixes for conditionals and sub-shells.
- fixup indentation.
- added documentation.
- improved commit message.
