checkpoint command causes fast-import to finish the current pack and
start a new one. If there are no (newly imported) objects in the pack
fast-import does nothing with the pack AND doesn't save out branches,
tags and marks.

Fix it by always saving out branches, tags and marks on a checkpoint.

Simple test case where no new objects are created is
$ fast-export $somebranch | sed $somebranch to $newbranch | fast-import
While it's running send checkpoint signals to fast-import to avoid
parsing the import stream. Non-fast-forward updates may happen if there
are merges in $somebranch history. The fast-import may fail on
checkpoints now. Not a regression as it'd fail the same way before if
import is to a new/empty repository - the intermediate packs won't be
empty and so a real checkpoint happens anyway.

Whether fast-export really should reuse $somebranch name for all commits
in it's history graph and so cause intermediate non-fast-forwads is a
separate topic to be discussed.
