* "git pull --rebase" always chose to do the bog-standard flattening
rebase. You can tell it to run "rebase --preserve-merges" by
setting "pull.rebase" configuration to "preserve".

* "git push --no-thin" actually disables the "thin pack transfer"
optimization.

* "git ls-files -k" needs to crawl only the part of the working tree
that may overlap the paths in the index to find killed files, but
shared code with the logic to find all the untracked files, which
made it unnecessarily inefficient.

* The commit object names in the insn sheet that was prepared at the
beginning of "rebase -i" session can become ambiguous as the
rebasing progresses and the repository gains more commits. Make
sure the internal record is kept with full 40-hex object names.

* "git rebase --preserve-merges" internally used the merge machinery
and as a side effect, left merge summary message in the log, but
when rebasing, there should not be a need for merge summary.

* A call to xread() was used without a loop around to cope with short
read in the codepath to stream new contents to a pack.
