tig-0.16

Salut,

A new version of tig is available. Thanks to everyone who provided patches and input.

In the pipe-line are changes to finally rewrite the graph visualisation (currently being rebased in wip/graph) and retire the log view.

What is tig?
------------
Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly as a git repository browser, but can also assist in staging changes for commit at chunk level and act as a pager for output from various git commands.

Release notes
-------------
Incompatibilities:

- Encode everything internally as UTF-8. This can affect performance, but should in general improve handling of character lengths etc. Also, to properly handle UTF-8 environments use ncurses with wide character support.
- The use of TIG_{MAIN,DIFF,LOG,TREE,BLOB}_CMD environment variables has been deprecated. To allow configuration of the diff view, TIG_DIFF_OPTS can be used.

Improvements:

- Plug several memory leaks.
- Command line arguments are split into diff, revision, and file arguments and made available as %(diffargs), %(revargs), and %(fileargs). Diff view will limit diffs using %(fileargs).
- Status view: update the file variable when a line is selected so %(file) works as expected.
- Branch view: add %(branch) symbol providing access to the selected branch.
- Branch view: add entry to browse all branches (uses git-log's --all flag).
- Abbreviation of author names can now be configured and toggled.
- Mark detached heads with [HEAD].
- Add support for displaying dates in local time.

Bug fixes:

- Status view: fix usage from sub directories, which was broken by the changes made to support blame view from sub directories.
- Fix text expansion to not truncate long lines
- Fix parsing of boolean show-date values.
- Fix relative date.
- Fix unbind to behave as if the keybinding was never defined.
- Fix unbind to also cover built-in run requests.
- Fix parsing of unknown keymap names.
- Blame view: fix parent blame to detect renames. It uses "previous" line info from the blame porcelain output added in git version 1.6.3.
