* lh/branch-rename:
git-branch: let caller specify logmsg
rename_ref: use lstat(2) when testing for symlink
git-branch: add options and tests for branch renaming
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 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
clone, there was need for the flag which would turn off this behavior.
It was called --use-immingled-remote.
Immingle means to blend, to combine into one, to intermingle, but it
is a bit obscure word. I think it would be better to use simply
--no-separate-remote as the opposite to --use-separate-remote
option to git clone.

Instead of storing a list of refnames in append_ref, a list of
structures is created. Each of these stores the refname and a
symbolic constant representing its type.
The creation of the list is filtered based on a command line
switch; no switch means "local branches only", "-r" means "remote
branches only" (as they always did); but now "-a" means "local
branches or remote branches".
As a side effect, the list is now not global, but allocated in
print_ref_list() where it used.
Also a memory leak is plugged, the memory allocated during the
list creation was never freed.
It lays a groundwork to also display tags, but the command being
'git branch' it is not currently used.

* commit 'jc/merge~1':
git-merge: make it usable as the first class UI
remove merge-recursive-old
Doc: Make comment about merging in tutorial.txt more clear
archive: use setvbuf() instead of setlinebuf()
This teaches the oft-requested syntax
git merge $commit
to implement merging the named commit to the current branch.
This hopefully would make "git merge" usable as the first class
UI instead of being a mere backend for "git pull".
Most notably, $commit above can be any committish, so you can
say for example:
git merge js/shortlog~2
to merge early part of a topic branch without merging the rest
of it.
A custom merge message can be given with the new --message=<msg>
parameter. The message is prepended in front of the usual
"Merge ..." message autogenerated with fmt-merge-message.
