zero or more good commits on the command line.

- "git shortlog" can optionally be told to wrap its output.

- "subtree" merge strategy allows another project to be merged in as
your subdirectory.

- "git format-patch" learned a new --subject-prefix=<string>

- git-quiltimport had the same bug as we fixed for
git-applymbox in v1.5.1.1 -- it gave an alarming "did not
have any patch" message (but did not actually fail and was
harmless).

- various git-svn fixes.

- Sample update hook incorrectly always refused requests to
delete branches through push.

- git-blame on a very long working tree path had buffer

handle such a case a bit more carefully, even though that is
still left as a conflict for the user to sort out. This
will not be backported to 1.5.1.x series, as it is rather an
