Fixes

• Improve hub create dealing with an existing "origin" remote

• Fix 256-color terminal support for macOS Terminal.app

• Add support for passing multiple --message options for compatibility with git

Features

• Use "scissors" line to delineate comments in editable messages instead of stripping away lines that start with #. This helps preserve Markdown headings in hub pull-request, hub release create, and similar commands that open a text editor interactively.

  Everything above the following line is kept in the message; everything below is discarded:

  # ------------------------ >8 ------------------------
  

• New command hub issue show <NUMBER>

• Add hub release show --format=<FORMAT> functionality

• hub pr list --format=%rs lists requested reviewers

    unix_socket: /path/to/socket
