I see both styles around in the tree (past for the state of the world
before this patch, present for the state of the world as of this patch,
vs. present for the state of the world just before and just after
applying this patch). Neither is unreadable to me so I just want to do
whatever's the standard around here.

(I'm not convinced, as a matter of grammar, that the
commit-message-present verb form is really in the imperative mood; I
think the freeform nature of English grammar obscures that it's the
present active infinitive, analogous to, say, the fact that a French
software program with an "open file" button will say "ouvrir" and not
"ouvrez".)

The whole set of i-t-a diffing behaviors needs a test suite (unless I've
grepped very poorly), which will come in another patchset. t4140 in this
thread's main patchset assumes they work.
