Yeah, I agree that what used to exist only in 'next' and we chose to
remove it before it its 'master', does not deserve to be supported
forever.  So let's scrap the "am is taken as a synonym for apply".
It would not help the old version taken from 'next' grok a new
configuration file that uses "apply" anyway ;-)

OK, let's avoid screwing it up even further by doing no more damage
than merging just the three fix-ups we discussed recently.  

The fact that jrnieder runs 'next'+patches for his $DAYJOB users
makes me hope that there may be other organizations that do the
same, and cooking in 'next' would mean somthing, though.

We may want to think of a way to strongly encourage those who are in
charge of choosing and maintaining the versions of Git that is used
in their organization, whose operation depends on the healthy future
versions of Git, to run 'next' or at least 'master', to stay ahead
of the released versions.  Some education and advocacy is needed?
