The "also" sounds as if "preserve" does a rebase as an additional
step that "true" would not do, but that is not the case. Clarify
this by omitting "also", and rewording the sentence a bit.

The help text for the --force-with-lease option to git-push
does not parse cleanly. Clean up the wording and syntax to
be more sensible. Also remove redundant information in the
"--force-with-lease alone" description.

As we already allow changing text resources, it is a very small step to
allow changing the `.exe` icon, too.
So let's just do it.

To allow the Git wrapper to replace the `git-bash.bat` script (which
would always open the Win32 console, even if the user wants to use a
different terminal emulator), we need to offer a way to configure
*which* command-line to run.
We need to recompile the git-wrapper with the `-mwindows` flag to
declare that this is a GUI program (not a console program). Having to
recompile it anyway, let's put the new code in a conditionally compiled
section so that the builtins (for which we use the git-wrapper, too) do
not need to carry around that code.
To configure the command-line, we use a way that is very typical for
Windows: resources. Windows resources are data that are stored inside
.exe files, but can be changed *after* compilation. Therefore, this
facility is *exactly* what we want: we can easily copy the .exe to the
new name `git-bash.exe`, configure that executable to run the Bash, and
then copy it again to the new name `git-cmd.exe` and configure that
executable to run `cmd.exe` instead.
For even more flexibility, we expand environment variables specified as
`@@<VARIABLE-NAME>@@`, and for convenience `@@EXEPATH@@` expands into
the directory in which the executable resides.
Sadly, an executable cannot configure itself: the `.exe` file is locked
while the process is running. This means we have to have a separate
executable to edit the resources anyway, so let's just enhance the Git
wrapper *itself*: when copied to the new name `edit-res.exe`, it can
edit other copies of the Git wrapper like so:
edit-res.exe git-cmd.exe command '@@COMSPEC@@ /K'

We are about to use the Git wrapper to call the Git Bash of Git for
Windows. All the wrapper needs to do for that is to set up the
environment variables, use the home directory as working directory and
then hand off to a user-specified command-line.
We prepare the existing code for this change by introducing flags to set
up the environment variables, to launch a non-Git program, and to use
the home directory as working directory.

The original purpose of the Git wrapper is to run from inside Git for
Windows' /cmd/ directory, to allow setting up some environment variables
before Git is allowed to take over.
Due to differences in the file system layout, MSys2 requires some
changes for that to work.
In addition, we must take care to set the `MSYSTEM` environment variable
to `MINGW32` or `MINGW64`, respectively, to allow MSys2 to be configured
correctly in case Git launches a shell or Perl script.
We also need to change the `TERM` variable to `cygwin` instead of
`msys`, otherwise the pager `less.exe` (spawned e.g. by `git log`) will
simply crash with a message similar to this one:
1 [main] less 9832 cygwin_exception::open_stackdumpfile:
Dumping stack trace to less.exe.stackdump

Prepare to prefix the command-line with non-builtins. We are now using
the Git wrapper to call non-Git programs, too.

The expected call sequence is for the caller to use match_pathspec()
repeatedly on a set of pathspecs, accumulating the "hits" in a
separate array, and then call this function to diagnose a pathspec
that never matched anything, as that can indicate a typo from the
command line, e.g. "git commit Maekfile".
Many builtin commands use this function from builtin/ls-files.c,
which is not a very healthy arrangement. ls-files might have been
the first command to feel the need for such a helper, but the need
is shared by everybody who uses the "match and then report" pattern.
Move it to dir.c where match_pathspec() is defined.
