fast-import: allow for multiple --import-marks= arguments
The --import-marks= option may be specified multiple times on the commandline and should result in all marks being read in. Only one import-marks feature may be specified in the stream, which is overriden by any --import-marks= commandline options. If one wishes to specify import-marks files in addition to the one specified in the stream, it is easy to repeat the stream option as a --import-marks= commandline option. Also verify this behavior with tests. Signed-off-by: Sverre Rabbelier <srabbelier@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
