Extend git-branch with the following options:
git-branch -m|-M [<oldbranch>] newbranch
The -M variation is required to force renaming over an exsisting
branchname.
This also indroduces $GIT_DIR/RENAME_REF which is a "metabranch"
used when renaming branches. It will always hold the original sha1
for the latest renamed branch.
Additionally, if $GIT_DIR/logs/RENAME_REF exists, all branch rename
events are logged there.
Finally, some testcases are added to verify the new options.

This follows up commit ed93b449 where we removed overcautious
"working file will be lost" check.
A new option "--exclude-per-directory=.gitignore" can be used to
tell the "git-read-tree" command that the user does not mind
losing contents in untracked files in the working tree, if they
need to be overwritten by a merge (either a two-way "switch
branches" merge, or a three-way merge).

Suppose you have changes in new1 to the original lines 10-20,
and changes in new2 to the original lines 15-25, then the
changes to 10-25 conflict. But it is possible that the next
changes in new1 still overlap with this change to new2.
So, in the next iteration we have to look at the same change
to new2 again.
The old code tried to be a bit too clever. The new code is
shorter and more to the point: do not fiddle with the ranges
at all.
Also, xdl_append_merge() tries harder to combine conflicts.
This is necessary, because with the above simplification,
some conflicts would not be recognized as conflicts otherwise:
In the above scenario, it is possible that there is no other
change to new1. Absent the combine logic, the change in new2
would be recorded _again_, but as a non-conflict.

This brings the power of the index up front using a proper mental model
without talking about the index at all. See for example how all the
technical discussion has been evacuated from the git-add man page.
Any content to be committed must be added together. Whether that
content comes from new files or modified files doesn't matter. You
just need to "add" it, either with git-add, or by providing
git-commit with -a (for already known files only of course).
No need for a separate command to distinguish new vs modified files
please. That would only screw the mental model everybody should have
when using GIT.

With making --use-separate-remote default when creating non-bare

It was called --use-immingled-remote.
Immingle means to blend, to combine into one, to intermingle, but it

--no-separate-remote as the opposite to --use-separate-remote

This new function implements the functionality of RCS merge, but
in-memory. It returns < 0 on error, otherwise the number of conflicts.
Finding the conflicting lines can be a very expensive task. You can
control the eagerness of this algorithm:
- a level value of 0 means that all overlapping changes are treated
as conflicts,
- a value of 1 means that if the overlapping changes are identical,
it is not treated as a conflict.
- If you set level to 2, overlapping changes will be analyzed, so that
almost identical changes will not result in huge conflicts. Rather,
only the conflicting lines will be shown inside conflict markers.
With each increasing level, the algorithm gets slower, but more accurate.
Note that the code for level 2 depends on the simple definition of
mmfile_t specific to git, and therefore it will be harder to port that
to LibXDiff.

SVN is not entirely consistent in returning log information and
sometimes returns file information when adding subdirectories,
and sometimes it does not (only returning information about the
directory that was added). This caused git-svn to occasionally
add a file to the list of files to be fetched twice. Now we
change the data structure to be hash to avoid repeated fetches.
As of now (in master), this only affects repositories fetched
without deltas enabled (file://, and when manually overriden
with GIT_SVN_DELTA_FETCH=0); so this bug mainly affects users of
1.4.4.1 and maint.

Commit 35e65ecc broke completion of local refs, e.g. "git pull . fo<tab>"
no longer would complete to "foo". Instead it printed out an internal
git error ("fatal: Not a git repository: '.'").
The break occurred when I tried to improve performance by switching from
git-peek-remote to git-for-each-ref. Apparently git-peek-remote will
drop into directory "$1/.git" (where $1 is its first parameter) if it
is given a repository with a working directory. This allowed the bash
completion code to work properly even though it was not handing over
the true repository directory.
So now we do a stat in bash to see if we need to add "/.git" to the
path string before running any command with --git-dir.
I also tried to optimize away two "git rev-parse --git-dir" invocations
in common cases like "git log fo<tab>" as typically the user is in the
top level directory of their project and therefore the .git subdirectory
is in the current working directory. This should make a difference on
systems where fork+exec might take a little while.
