When using a Perl script on a system where "perl" found on user's $PATH
could be ancient or otherwise broken, we allow builders to specify the

In the older days, the header "Conflicts:" in "cherry-pick" and "merge"

In the case the pointer could be NULL, the function that gave the caller
the NULL pointer would already have issued an error message, so simply
returning early with an error status without issuing a new message is
sufficient.  The same for parse_commit() that will show necessary error
message when the argument is not NULL, and will return error silently
when the argument is NULL.

Since commit 6cf378f0, asciidoc backticks are now inline
literals; therefore quoting {tilde} inside them is wrong
(this instance was missed in 6cf378f0 because it happened on

New users tend to work on one branch at a time and push the result
out. The current and upstream modes of push is a more suitable default
mode than matching mode for these people, but neither is surprise-free
depending on how the project is set up. Introduce a "simple" mode that
is a subset of "upstream" but only works when the branch is named the same
between the remote and local repositories.

configured.
