FYI, I pushed this out, along with some other changes.
 * checkout -m can be used to merge while switching branches.
 * format-patch now always does --mbox and shows RFC2822 Date.
 * clone --naked can be used for creating "project.git" style repository.
 * octopus allows hand resolving in limited form.
 * show-branch user interface updates.
 * push --tags to push all tags; it does not fall back on "matching" refs.
