13c6bcd49f Fix deletion of last character in levenshtein distance
Without this change, "git tags" will not suggest "git tag"
(it will only suggest "git status"), and "git statusx" will
not suggest anything.

8af84dadb1 git wrapper: DWIM mistyped commands
This patch introduces a modified Damerau-Levenshtein algorithm into
Git's code base, and uses it with the following penalties to show some
similar commands when an unknown command was encountered:

	swap = 0, insertion = 1, substitution = 2, deletion = 4

A typical output would now look like this:

	$ git sm
	git: 'sm' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'.

	Did you mean one of these?
		am
		rm

The cut-off is at similarity rating 6, which was empirically determined
to give sensible results.

As a convenience, if there is only one candidate, Git continues under
the assumption that the user mistyped it.  Example:

	$ git reabse
	WARNING: You called a Git program named 'reabse', which does
	not exist.
	Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'rebase'
	[...]
