So... I screwed up when attempting to resolve the "git am" problem.
I guess I need to figure out how to correctly use "git am --continue".

I now see the NS column in the "info shared" output.  But, now, I *always*
see it in the "info shared" output, even when there's only one linker
namespace.  Is that desirable?

My opinion is that we should suppress the NS column when there's
only one linker namespace.
