does not follow the GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF interface.

The manual page of git-cherry-pick and git-revert asserts that -n works
primarily on the working tree, while in fact the primary object it operates
on is the index, and the changes only "accidentally" propagate to the
working tree. This e.g. leads innocent #git IRC folks to believe that you
can use -n to prepare changes for git-add -i staging.

The pretty format %an does not respect .mailmap, but gives the exact
author name recorded in the commit. Sometimes it is more desirable,
however, to look if the email has another name mapped to it in .mailmap.
This commit adds %aN (and %cN for the committer name) to do exactly that.

* 'qq/maint' (early part):
git-svn.perl: workaround assertions in svn library 1.5.0
mailinfo: feed the correct line length to decode_transfer_encoding()
git-clone: remove leftover debugging fprintf().
Fix "config_error_nonbool" used with value instead of key
clone -q: honor "quiet" option over native transports.
attribute documentation: keep EXAMPLE at end
builtin-commit.c: Use 'git_config_string' to get 'commit.template'
http.c: Use 'git_config_string' to clean up SSL config.
diff.c: Use 'git_config_string' to get 'diff.external'
convert.c: Use 'git_config_string' to get 'smudge' and 'clean'
builtin-log.c: Use 'git_config_string' to get 'format.subjectprefix' and 'format.suffix'
Documentation cvs: Clarify when a bare repository is needed
Documentation: be precise about which date --pretty uses
The document gives overall definition of states in DESCRIPTION, describes
various aspects of git operations that can be influenced in EFFECTS, and
finally gives examples in the EXAMPLE section. Archive creation however
was somehow documented after the EXAMPLE section, not insode EFFECTS.

New users sometimes import a project and then immediately
try to use the imported repository as a central shared repository.
This provides pointers about setting up a bare repository for that
in the parts of the documentation dealing with CVS migration.

The rev-parse manpage introduces the branch@{date} syntax,
and mentions the reflog specifically. However, new users may
not be familiar with the distinction between the reflog and
the commit date, so let's help them out with a "you may be
interested in --until" pointer.

git-config expects a space, not '=' between option and value.
Also, quote the value since it contains globs, which some shells will not
pass through unchanged, or will abort if the glob doesn't expand.

The option -u stands for --update and it is a good idea to make it clear
especially because this is the only mode of operation of "git add" that
does something different from "adding". Give longer --force synonym to -f
while we are at it as well.

* om/remote-fix:
"remote prune": be quiet when there is nothing to prune
remote show: list tracked remote branches with -n
remote prune: print the list of pruned branches
builtin-remote: split show_or_prune() in two separate functions
remote show: fix the -n option
Higher stages store the blobs involved from their side verbatim. Removal
of uninteresting hunks are done by "diff --cc" upon demand and not stored

This command is really too quiet which make it unconfortable to use.
Also implement a --dry-run option, in place of the original -n one, to

prune them.
