We now keep track of the patches merged in each branch since they have
diverged, using the records that the Arch "logs" provide. Merge parents
for a commit are defined if we are merging a series of patches that starts
from the mergebase.
If patches from a related branch are merged out-of-order, we keep track of
how much has been merged sequentially -- the tip of that sequential merge
is our new parent from that branch.
This mechanism works very well for branches that merge in dovetail and/or
flying fish patterns, probably less well for others.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.
