combo-layer: partial import for '--history init'

The new "since_revision" property can be used to cut off the imported
history at some point. This is useful to keep the resulting repository
smaller while still preserving enough history that "git annotate"
reports the right author and commit for most lines.

The initial, squashed import commit shows up with "unknown" as author
in the "git annotate" output. It has the repository name as prefix
in the subject line; importing that commit works best with a
layer hook which does not add the repository name again when
it is already present. Adding it here is useful for hooks
which do not extend the subject line.
