Reroll of v3 [1]. This series adds support for column display like "ls". "git branch", "git tag -l" and "git status"'s untracked files can now be displayed in columns. There's also "git-column" to help do the layout for commands that are not aware of column display. In fact git-tag uses it this way.

I've been thinking of supporting the layout where a cell's content can occupy more than one cell. It'll make better use of space when there are a few long entries. Something like this:

abc def ghk longlonglong short again here now

"git status" may benefit when you have untracked files in some deep directories.

"ls -R" layout is also an option ("branch -r" and ls-files will benefit due to dense tree output). But these ideas will have to wait until later.

Compared to v3, it has "git status" support, the return of git-column, and column.* conf vars.
