```
Add commit.verbose configuration variable as a convenience for those
who always prefer --verbose.

The previous versions of this patch are:
 - [v5] $gmane/288728
 - [v4] $gmane/288652
 - [v3] $gmane/288634
 - [v2] $gmane/288569
 - [v1] $gmane/287540

The changes with respect to the last version are :
 - Use Helped-by tag instead of Mentored-by.
 - Use "^diff --git" instead of "*diff --git".
 - Add a different test to check whether the verbose option did not break status.

This is missing the important "-c commit.verbose=false". Without it,
you're not really testing anything interesting.

(It was missing in the "something like this" example test I typed
directly in the email of my last review[1], which I suppose is a good
lesson that "something like this" is not meant as "final" or "trust
this".)

That wasn't an intentional omission on my part, by the way -- I wasn't
trying to mislead you -- it was just an example I typed on-the-fly
without thinking too hard about it.

I meant "-c commit.verbose=true", of course.
