grep: add color.grep.matchcontext and color.grep.matchselected
 
The config option color.grep.match can be used to specify the highlighting
color for matching strings.  Add the options matchContext and matchSelected
to allow different colors to be specified for matching strings in the
context vs. in selected lines.  This is similar to the ms and mc specifiers
in GNU grep's environment variable GREP_COLORS.

Tests are from Zoltan Klinger's earlier attempt to solve the same
issue in a different way.

NAME
----
git-credential-cache - Helper to temporarily store passwords in memory

SYNOPSIS
--------
-----------------------------
git config credential.helper 'cache [options]'
-----------------------------

DESCRIPTION
-----------

This command caches credentials in memory for use by future Git
programs. The stored credentials never touch the disk, and are forgotten
after a configurable timeout.  The cache is accessible over a Unix
domain socket, restricted to the current user by filesystem permissions.

You probably don't want to invoke this command directly; it is meant to
be used as a credential helper by other parts of Git. See
linkgit:gitcredentials[7] or `EXAMPLES` below.

OPTIONS
-------

--timeout <seconds>::

	Number of seconds to cache credentials (default: 900).

--socket <path>::

	Use `<path>` to contact a running cache daemon (or start a new
	cache daemon if one is not started). Defaults to
	`~/.git-credential-cache/socket`. If your home directory is on a
	network-mounted filesystem, you may need to change this to a
	local filesystem.

CONTROLLING THE DAEMON
----------------------

If you would like the daemon to exit early, forgetting all cached
credentials before their timeout, you can issue an `exit` action:

--------------------------------------
git credential-cache exit
--------------------------------------

EXAMPLES
--------

The point of this helper is to reduce the number of times you must type
your username or password. For example:

------------------------------------
$ git config credential.helper cache
$ git push http://example.com/repo.git
Username: <type your username>
Password: <type your password>

[work for 5 more minutes]
$ git push http://example.com/repo.git
[your credentials are used automatically]
------------------------------------

You can provide options via the credential.helper configuration
variable (this example drops the cache time to 5 minutes):

-------------------------------------------------------
$ git config credential.helper 'cache --timeout=300'
-------------------------------------------------------
