+ - Automated merge conflict handling when changes to symbolic

+ strategy created a regular file with conflict markers in it
+ in place of the symbolic link. The default strategy,
+ merge-recursive was even more broken. It removed the path
+ that was pointed at by the symbolic link. Both of these
+ problems have been fixed.

Adds a remote named <name> for the repository at

++
+With `-f` option, `git fetch <name>` is run immediately after
+the remote information is set up.
++
+With `-t <branch>` option, instead of the default glob
+refspec for the remote to track all branches under

+up to point at remote's `<master>` branch instead of whatever
+branch the `HEAD` at the remote repository actually points at.
