This reverts commit 0cc5691a.

There is not enough justification for doing this.  We do not update
things in .git/branches and .git/remotes anymore, but still do read
information from there and will keep doing so.

Besides, this breaks quite a lot of tests in t55?? series.

  More precise description of 'git describe --abbrev'

If git clone is given more than two non-option arguments, it
silently throws away all but the first one.  Complain instead.

Discovered by comparing the new builtin clone to the old
git-clone.sh.

'git commit -s' will insert a blank line before the Signed-off-by
line at the end of the message, unless this last line is a
Signed-off-by line itself.  Common use has other trailing lines
at the ends of commit text, in the style of RFC2822 headers.

Be more generous in considering lines to be part of this footer.
If the last paragraph of the commit message reasonably resembles
RFC-2822 formatted lines, don't insert that blank line.

The new Signed-off-by line is still only suppressed when the
author's existing Signed-off-by is the last line of the message.

Although 'git help -a' actually doesn't need to be run inside a git
repository and uses no repository-specific information, it looks for a git
directory.  On 'git <TAB><TAB>' the bash completion runs 'git help -a' and
unnecessary searching for a git directory can be annoying in auto-mount
environments.  With this commit, 'git help' no longer searches for a
repository when run with the -a option.

  rebase -i: more graceful handling of invalid commands
  help -i: properly error out if no info viewer can be found

When building Git with MSVC on Windows, directories named after the Git alias
are created for the output files, e.g. there is a "git-merge-index" directory
next to the "git-merge-index.exe" executable in the build root. Previously,
"make all" just checked if "git-merge-index" and "git-merge-index.exe" are the
same file, and if not, tried to remove "git-merge-index". This fails in the
case of "git-merge-index" being a directory, which is why this is checked now.

Currently, when there is an invalid command, the rest of the line is
still treated as if the command had been valid, i.e. rebase -i attempts
to produce a patch, using the next argument as a SHA1 name. If there is
no next argument or an invalid one, very confusing error messages
appear (the line was '.'; path to git-rebase-todo substituted):

Unknown command: .
fatal: ambiguous argument 'Please fix this in the file $somefile.':
unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions
fatal: Not a valid object name Please fix this in the file $somefile.
fatal: bad revision 'Please fix this in the file $somefile.'

Instead, verify the validity of the remaining line and error out earlier
if necessary.

When the main window is maximized, if the screen height is shorter (e.g.
Netbook screen 1024x600), both the partial commit pane and the status bar
are hidden. The diff pane is resizable, so that it can use less vertical
height, allowing the overall window to be shorter and still display both
the entire commit pane and status bar.

This feature is long overdue; convert SVN's merge representation to git's
as revisions are imported.  This works by converting the list of revisions
in each line of the svn:mergeinfo into git revision ranges, and then
checking the latest of each of these revision ranges for A) being new and
B) now being completely merged.

SVK is a simple case to start with, as its idea of merge parents
matches git's one.  When a svk:merge ticket is encountered, check each
of the listed merged revisions to see if they are in the history of
this commit; if not, then we have encountered a merge - record it.

In cases where the top-level URL we're tracking is the path we
glob against, we can once again track odd repositories that keep
branches/tags at the top level.  This regression was introduced
