You could, but certainly don't have to, squash in the below. I.e. this
is the last user of eval_ngettext!

Also get_author_ident_from_commit() in git-sh-setup.sh and
Documentation/git-sh-setup.txt can be removed,
git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh is the last user of it.

I looked over the other git-sh-setup functions, it seems that's the only
one that could be removed along with git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh.
