[StGit PATCH 3/8] Fix up the help text for "stg edit"

[Karl Hasselström]

The sentence structure was strange, and the example format was
somewhat misleading (StGit doesn't care about sign-off lines, for
example).

[StGit PATCH 4/8] Don't split long and short description in "stg edit"

[Karl Hasselström]

"stg edit" used to present the patch information like this:

  Short description

  From: ...
  Date: ...

  Long description

If the project follows the git convention with a single-line short
description and follwed by a blank line and the rest of the
description, this merely looks a little odd. However, for projects
that don't follow that convention, presenting the first line
separately is actively inconvenient; for example, it breaks emacs's
fill-paragraph command.

[StGit PATCH 5/8] Make a common superclass for all StGit exceptions

[Karl Hasselström]

This makes it easier to catch them all. (Indeed, the very long list of
exceptions to catch in main.py was missing some of the exceptions.)

[StGit PATCH 8/8] Remove the --force flag to "stg rebase" and "stg pull"

[Karl Hasselström]

Instead, always behave as if the force flag was given; that is, don't
check if rebasing would leave a dangling commit behind. Reasons:

  * The check for this was very strict and caused a lot of false
    positives.

  * Everything is recorded in the reflog, so we can't actually lose
    commits.

This fixes bug 9181.
