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
-------------
Improvements:

 - Status view: improve "on branch" information inspired by the prompt
   code in git's bash completion script.
 - Colors for 256-capable terminals can be specified as colorN.
 - Entering a number in the prompt will jump to that line number.
 - Handle core.worktree by setting GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE.
 - Make behavior of horizontal scrolling configurable by setting the
   'horizontal-scroll' variable to a number or a percentage. Defaults to
   scrolling 50% of the view width.

Bug fixes:

 - Status view: report failures to update a file.
 - Blame view: fix problem with uninitialized variable.
 - Blame view: use line number information when loading blame for
   specific commit.
