Expand the area of globs applicability for branches and tags
in git-svn. It is now possible to use globs like 'a*e', or 'release_*'.
This allows users to avoid long lines in config like:
branches = branches/{release_20,release_21,release_22,...}
In favor of:
branches = branches/release_*

Some people argue that these were silly from the beginning (see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/285590/focus=285601
for example), but we have to support them for compatibility.
That doesn't mean we have to show them in the documentation. These
were already left out of the main list, but a reference in the main
manpage was left, so remove that.
Also add a note to discourage their use if anybody goes looking for them
in the source code.

The wording is introduced in c3f0baaca (Documentation: sync git.txt
command list and manual page title, 2007-01-18), but rebase has evolved
since then, capture the modern usage by being more generic about the
rebase command in the summary.

--get does not fail if a key is multi-valued, it returns the last value
as described in its documentation. Clarify the description of --get-all

Using a numbered list is confusing because the exit codes are not listed
in order so the numbers at the start of each line do not match the exit
codes described by the following text. Switch to a bulleted list so
that the only number appearing on each line is the exit code described.

The --get, --get-all and --get-regexp options to git-config exit with
status 1 if the key is not found but --get-urlmatch succeeds in this
case.
Change --get-urlmatch to behave in the same way as the other --get*
options so that all four are consistent. --get-color is a special case
because it accepts a default value to return and so should not return an
error if the key is not found.
Also clarify this behaviour in the documentation.

The patch hunk selector of add--interactive knows how ask
git for colorized diffs, and correlate them with the
uncolored diffs we apply. But there's not any way for
somebody who uses a diff-filter tool like contrib's
diff-highlight to see their normal highlighting.
This patch lets users define an arbitrary shell command to
pipe the colorized diff through. The exact output shouldn't
matter (since we just show the result to humans) as long as
it is line-compatible with the original diff (so that
hunk-splitting can split the colorized version, too).
I left two minor issues with the new system that I don't
think are worth fixing right now, but could be done later:
1. We only filter colorized diffs. Theoretically a user
could want to filter a non-colorized diff, but I find
it unlikely in practice. Users who are doing things
like diff-highlighting are likely to want color, too.
2. add--interactive will re-colorize a diff which has been
hand-edited, but it won't have run through the filter.
Fixing this is conceptually easy (just pipe the diff
through the filter), but practically hard to do without
using tempfiles (it would need to feed data to and read
the result from the filter without deadlocking; this
raises portability questions with respect to Windows).
I've punted on both issues for now, and if somebody really
cares later, they can do a patch on top.
