The following series, expands git's terminal support to allow for saving/restoring its settings around an EDITOR call. The rationale is better documented in multiple tickets for Windows users that had found themselves with a difficult to read output after doing a commit (either directly or while running a rebase), because they were using Windows Terminal and vi (the default). It is also useful in POSIX systems which before this series will have to reset their terminals, if (for example) vi got killed while editing a commit message. Posted as an RFC, because I suspect it might need additional changes to support Windows < 10 and because I wanted to add a patch that at least renames the "hconin" variable and maybe fix some spurious errors, or even add some logic to prevent the reset if the terminal wasn't messed with.
