The --list option is what 'git branch' without parameter should
have been; it shows the one-line commit message for each branch
name. The --independent option is used to filter out commits
that can be reachable from other commits, to make detection of
fast forward condition in multi-head merge easier.

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.

When showing only one branch a lot of default output becomes redundant,
so clean it up a bit, and document what is shown. Retire the earlier
implementation "git-show-branches-script".
