Fixes since v1.8.4.1
--------------------
* "git clone" gave some progress messages to the standard output, not
to the standard error, and did not allow suppressing them with the
"--no-progress" option.
* "format-patch --from=<whom>" forgot to omit unnecessary in-body
from line, i.e. when <whom> is the same as the real author.
* "git shortlog" used to choke and die when there is a malformed
commit (e.g. missing authors); it now simply ignore such a commit
and keeps going.
* "git merge-recursive" did not parse its "--diff-algorithm=" command
line option correctly.
* "git branch --track" had a minor regression in v1.8.3.2 and later
that made it impossible to base your local work on anything but a
local branch of the upstream repository you are tracking from.
