using "git add" will send the contents straight to a packfile without
having to hold it and its compressed representation both at the same
time in memory.

$(MAKE) did.
(merge kk/maint-prefix-in-config-mak later)
* The bash completion scripts should correctly work using zsh's bash
completion emulation layer now.
(merge fc/completion-zsh later)
* The logic to handle "&" (expand to UNIX username) in GECOS field
miscounted the length of the name it formatted.
(merge rg/copy-gecos-username later)
* The single-key mode of "git add -p" was easily fooled into thinking
that it was told to add everthing ('a') when up-arrow was pressed by
mistake.
(merge tr/add-i-no-escape later)
* "git cherry-pick -s resolve" failed to cherry-pick a root commit.

in effect.
