[PATCH 0/4] builtin/history: some smaller UI improvements

Hi,

this patch series contains a small set of UI improvements for git-history(1):

  - The first two commits adapt git-history(1) so that it performs
    verifications before asking the user for input.

  - The last two commits rework the "--ref-action=" option to instead be
    split up into "--dry-run" and "--update-refs=" so that the option is
    less focussed on technical implementation details.

I decided to send this patch series as a small incremental step before sending `git history split`, also because that series conflicts with aa/add-p-no-auto-advance.

Thanks!

Patrick
