Replace uses of cat that do nothing but writing the contents of
a single file to another command via pipe.

"cat $file | wc -l" to "wc -l $file", but this one should be Ok.]

A common mistake is to provide a filter which fails unwantedly. For
example, this will stop in the middle:
git filter-branch --env-filter '
test $GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL = xyz &&
export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL = abc' rewritten
When $GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL is not "xyz", the test fails, and consequently
the whole filter has a non-zero exit status. However, as demonstrated
in this example, filter-branch would just stop, and the user would be
none the wiser.
Also, a failing msg-filter would not have been caught, as was the
case with one of the tests.
This patch fixes both issues, by paying attention to the exit status
of msg-filter, and by saying what failed before exiting.

I realize that a lot of people use the "git-xyzzy" format, and we have
various historical reasons for it, but I also think that most people have
long since started thinking of the git command as a single command with
various subcommands, and we've long had the documentation talk about it
that way.
Slowly migrating away from the git-xyzzy format would allow us to
eventually no longer install hundreds of binaries (even if most of them
are symlinks or hardlinks) in users $PATH, and the _original_ reasons for
it (implementation issues and bash completion) are really long long gone.
Using "git xyzzy" also has some fundamental advantages, like the ability
to specify things like paging ("git -p xyzzy") and making the whole notion
of aliases act like other git commands (which they already do, but they do
*not* have a "git-xyzzy" form!)
Anyway, while actually removing the "git-xyzzy" things is not practical
right now, we can certainly start slowly to deprecate it internally inside
git itself - in the shell scripts we use, and the test vectors.
This patch adds a "remove-dashes" makefile target, which does that. It
isn't particularly efficient or smart, but it *does* successfully rewrite
a lot of our shell scripts to use the "git xyzzy" form for all built-in
commands.
(For non-builtins, the "git xyzzy" format implies an extra execve(), so
this script leaves those alone).
So apply this patch, and then run
make remove-dashes
make test
git commit -a
to generate a much larger patch that actually starts this transformation.
(The only half-way subtle thing about this is that it also fixes up
git-filter-branch.sh for the new world order by adding quoting around
the use of "git-commit-tree" as an argument. It doesn't need it in that
format, but when changed into "git commit-tree" it is no longer a single
word, and the quoting maintains the old behaviour).
NOTE! This does not yet mean that you can actually stop installing the
"git-xyzzy" binaries for the builtins. There are some remaining places
that want to use the old form, this just removes the most obvious ones
that can easily be done automatically.

When two branches are merged that modify a subdirectory (possibly in
different intermediate steps) such that both end up identical, then
rev-list chooses only one branch. But when we filter history, we want to
keep both branches. Therefore, we must use --full-history.

The map() function can be used by filters to map a commit id to its
rewritten id. Such a mapping may not exist, in which case the identity
mapping is used (the commit is returned unchanged).
In the rewrite loop, this mapping is also needed, but was done
explicitly in the same way. Use the map() function instead.

A subset of commits in a branch used to be specified by options (-k, -r)
as well as the branch tip itself (-s). It is more natural (for git users)
to specify revision ranges like 'master..next' instead. This makes it so.
If no range is specified it defaults to 'HEAD'.
As a consequence, the new name of the filtered branch must be the first
non-option argument. All remaining arguments are passed to 'git rev-list'
unmodified.
The tip of the branch that gets filtered is implied: It is the first
commit that git rev-list would print for the specified range.

The option '-k' says that the given commit and _all_ of its ancestors
are kept as-is.
However, if a to-be-rewritten commit branched from an ancestor of an
ancestor of a commit given with '-k', filter-branch would fail.
Example:
A - B
\
C
If filter-branch was called with '-k B -s C', it would actually keep
B (and A as its parent), but would rewrite C, and its parent.
