[PATCH 00/12] Support columinized output in tag/branch/ls-files/grep

This adds support to show columnized output in the mentioned commands. I am quite happy with columnized "git branch/tag".

There is still room for improvement. For example, if "git column" is going to display all items in one or two lines (too wide screen), then falling back to one column mode would be better.

I'm also experimenting aligned grep output. While it's useful sometimes to look for things near the beginning of line, I don't know if it's really worth the effort.

Anyway, enjoy the new output (Hmm.. "git config -l" may be applicable for columnization too)
