I ran out of git time due to the start of my uni's next quarter, this
is next on my to-do list though, as my remote helper depends on it.

Daniel, are you going to send a follow-up to the memory-leaking patch?
If not, this needs to stay out of next until I have time to do so. My
gitdir patch might need to be evicted as it is connected to
sr/gfi-options which is not yet done. Also, we need to update the
documentation, but I think we can at least start cooking it in next
without these documentation updates?

Does the current version require me to 'cd contrib/completion && make'
each time we update completion? If so, that's a (very annoying)
regression that needs to be fixed before it's merged to master IMHO.
