fast-export: Correctly generate initial commits with no parents
If we are exporting a commit which has no parents we may be doing
it to a branch that already exists, causing fast-import to assume
the branch's current revision should be the sole parent of the
new commit. This can cause `git fast-export | git fast-import`
to produce an incorrect graph for:
A-------M----o------o refs/heads/master
/
B-+
In this graph A and B are initial commits (no parents) but if A was
output first to refs/heads/master and then B is output fast-import
would assume the graph was this instead:
A-------M----o------o refs/heads/master
\ /
+-B-+
Which would cause B, M, and all later commits to have a different
SHA-1, and obviously be quite a different graph.
Sending a reset command prior to B informs fast-import to clear
the implied parent of A, allowing B to remain an initial commit.
