We start the pager too early for several git commands, which results in
the errors sometimes going to the pager rather than show up as errors.
This is often hidden by the fact that we pass in '-X' to less by default,
which causes 'less' to exit for small output, but if you do
export LESS=-S
you can then clearly see the problem by doing
git log --prretty
which shows the error message ("fatal: unrecognized argument: --prretty")
being sent to the pager.
This happens for pretty much all git commands that use USE_PAGER, and then
check arguments separately. But "git diff" does it too early too (even
though it does an explicit setup_pager() call)
This only fixes it for the trivial "git log" family case.

Add test for correct coloring of git log --decoration
Allow customizable commit decorations colors
log --decorate: Colorize commit decorations
log-tree.c: Use struct name_decoration's type for classifying decoration
commit.h: add 'type' to struct name_decoration
* jp/string-list-api-cleanup:
string_list: Fix argument order for string_list_append
string_list: Fix argument order for string_list_lookup
string_list: Fix argument order for string_list_insert_at_index
string_list: Fix argument order for string_list_insert
string_list: Fix argument order for for_each_string_list
string_list: Fix argument order for print_string_list
Update the definition and callers of string_list_append to use the
string_list as the first argument. This helps make the string_list
API easier to use by being more consistent.

By default, git uses the version string as the signature for all
patches output by format-patch. Many employers (mine included)
require the use of a signature on all outgoing mails. In a
format-patch | send-email workflow there isn't an easy way to modify
the signature without breaking the pipe and manually replacing the
version string with the signature required. Instead of doing all that
work, add an option (--signature) and a config variable
(format.signature) to replace the default git version signature when
formatting patches.
This does modify the original behavior of format-patch a bit. First
off the version string is now placed in the cover letter by default.
Secondly, once the configuration variable format.signature is added
to the .config file there is no way to revert back to the default
git version signature. Instead, specifying the --no-signature option
will remove the signature from the patches entirely.

When using git log --pretty='%N' without an explicit --show-notes, git
would segfault. This patches fixes this behaviour by loading the needed
notes datastructures if --pretty is used and the format contains %N.
When --pretty='%N' is used together with --no-notes, %N won't be
expanded.
This is an extension to a proposed patch by Jeff King.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
