Heres my updated patch. I think I've addressed all the comments except
Stephen's.

I've also added some tests in the 2nd patch but I'm running into a problem
where all the tests pass but the overall test fails:
  FATAL: Unexpected exit with code 0
  make: *** [t9800-git-alternate.sh] Error 1

My current TODO list is
- fix the test
- add tests for git alternate --delete
- add documentation
- refine the display output, its a bit jumbled at the moment it could be better

I'm travelling for the next couple of weeks so I may not be that quick to
respond to comments.
