[PATCH/RFC 0/7] Column output

This series was made a year ago [1]. I'm quite happy with it so far and also tired of maintaining off-tree. So here's another attempt to clean it up and put it upstream.

In short, the series is very simple: give porcelain commands column output, just like good old "ls". There could be a few more candidates, I believe René Scharfe mentioned other files in "git status".

Another thing is how you want to customize this. Currently it supports two modes: equal columns, and dense mode, specified with --column=column or --column=dense. Obviously not very convenient. There's core.column but I'm not sure how to specify modes there, and if people like some more modes (fill rows before columns for example).
