The "negative" pathspec feature was somewhat more cumbersome to use
than necessary in that its short-hand used "!" which needed to be
escaped from shells, and it required "exclude from what?" specified.
* lt/pathspec-negative:
pathspec: don't error out on all-exclusionary pathspec patterns
pathspec magic: add '^' as alias for '!'
"git tag" did not leave useful message when adding a new entry to
reflog; this was left unnoticed for a long time because refs/tags/*
doesn't keep reflog by default.
* cw/tag-reflog-message:
tag: generate useful reflog message
Optimizes resource usage while enumerating refs from alternate
object store, to help receiving end of "push" that hosts a
repository with many "forks".
* jk/alternate-ref-optim:
receive-pack: avoid duplicates between our refs and alternates
receive-pack: treat namespace .have lines like alternates
receive-pack: fix misleading namespace/.have comment
receive-pack: use oidset to de-duplicate .have lines
add oidset API
fetch-pack: cache results of for_each_alternate_ref
for_each_alternate_ref: replace transport code with for-each-ref
for_each_alternate_ref: pass name/oid instead of ref struct
for_each_alternate_ref: use strbuf for path allocation
for_each_alternate_ref: stop trimming trailing slashes
for_each_alternate_ref: handle failure from real_pathdup()
The code to list branches in "git branch" has been consolidated
with the more generic ref-filter API.
* kn/ref-filter-branch-list: (21 commits)
ref-filter: resurrect "strip" as a synonym to "lstrip"
branch: implement '--format' option
branch: use ref-filter printing APIs
branch, tag: use porcelain output
ref-filter: allow porcelain to translate messages in the output
ref-filter: add an 'rstrip=<N>' option to atoms which deal with refnames
ref-filter: modify the 'lstrip=<N>' option to work with negative '<N>'
ref-filter: Do not abruptly die when using the 'lstrip=<N>' option
ref-filter: rename the 'strip' option to 'lstrip'
ref-filter: make remote_ref_atom_parser() use refname_atom_parser_internal()
ref-filter: introduce refname_atom_parser()
ref-filter: introduce refname_atom_parser_internal()
ref-filter: make "%(symref)" atom work with the ':short' modifier
ref-filter: add support for %(upstream:track,nobracket)
ref-filter: make %(upstream:track) prints "[gone]" for invalid upstreams
ref-filter: introduce format_ref_array_item()
ref-filter: move get_head_description() from branch.c
ref-filter: modify "%(objectname:short)" to take length
ref-filter: implement %(if:equals=<string>) and %(if:notequals=<string>)
ref-filter: include reference to 'used_atom' within 'atom_value'
...
The <url> part in "http.<url>.<variable>" configuration variable
can now be spelled with '*' that serves as wildcard.
E.g. "http.https://*.example.com.proxy" can be used to specify the
proxy used for https://a.example.com, https://b.example.com, etc.,
i.e. any host in the example.com domain.
* ps/urlmatch-wildcard:
urlmatch: allow globbing for the URL host part
urlmatch: include host in urlmatch ranking
urlmatch: split host and port fields in `struct url_info`
urlmatch: enable normalization of URLs with globs
mailmap: add Patrick Steinhardt's work address
When "git merge" detects a path that is renamed in one history
while the other history deleted (or modified) it, it now reports
both paths to help the user understand what is going on in the two
histories being merged.
* mm/merge-rename-delete-message:
merge-recursive: make "CONFLICT (rename/delete)" message show both paths
Deletion of a branch "foo/bar" could remove .git/refs/heads/foo
once there no longer is any other branch whose name begins with
"foo/", but we didn't do so so far. Now we do.
* mh/ref-remove-empty-directory: (23 commits)
files_transaction_commit(): clean up empty directories
try_remove_empty_parents(): teach to remove parents of reflogs, too
try_remove_empty_parents(): don't trash argument contents
try_remove_empty_parents(): rename parameter "name" -> "refname"
delete_ref_loose(): inline function
delete_ref_loose(): derive loose reference path from lock
log_ref_write_1(): inline function
log_ref_setup(): manage the name of the reflog file internally
log_ref_write_1(): don't depend on logfile argument
log_ref_setup(): pass the open file descriptor back to the caller
log_ref_setup(): improve robustness against races
log_ref_setup(): separate code for create vs non-create
log_ref_write(): inline function
rename_tmp_log(): improve error reporting
rename_tmp_log(): use raceproof_create_file()
lock_ref_sha1_basic(): use raceproof_create_file()
lock_ref_sha1_basic(): inline constant
raceproof_create_file(): new function
safe_create_leading_directories(): set errno on SCLD_EXISTS
safe_create_leading_directories_const(): preserve errno
...
"git repack --depth=<n>" for a long time busted the specified depth
when reusing delta from existing packs. This has been corrected.
* jk/delta-chain-limit:
pack-objects: convert recursion to iteration in break_delta_chain()
pack-objects: enforce --depth limit in reused deltas
"git describe" and "git name-rev" have been taught to take more
than one refname patterns to restrict the set of refs to base their
naming output on, and also learned to take negative patterns to
name refs not to be used for naming via their "--exclude" option.
* jk/describe-omit-some-refs:
describe: teach describe negative pattern matches
describe: teach --match to accept multiple patterns
name-rev: add support to exclude refs by pattern match
name-rev: extend --refs to accept multiple patterns
doc: add documentation for OPT_STRING_LIST
In commit 07e7dbf0d (gc: default aggressive depth to 50, 2016-08-11),
the default aggressive depth of git-gc has been changed to 50. While
git-config(1) has been updated to represent the new default value,
git-gc(1) still mentions the old value. This patch fixes it.

Within the help message of 'git add -i', the 'diff' command uses one
tab character and blanks to create the space between the name and the
description while the others use blanks only. So if the tab size is
not at 4 characters, this description will not be in range.
Replace the tab character with blanks.

The documentation for git blame used vertical bars for optional
arguments to -M and -C, which is unusual and potentially confusing.
Since most man pages use brackets for optional items, and that's
consistent with how we document the same options for git diff and
friends, use brackets here, too.

Not just . and .., but any path that begins with dot is not copied
when copying the template directory to a new repository. You can
customize the template directory, copying some dotfiles might make
sense, but it's actually a good thing not to, because you would not
want to have your git directory copied in every git directory that
is created should you decide to put your template directory under
version control, for example. Plus, it might be used as a feature
by people who would want to exclude some files.

"ls-files" run with pathspec has been micro-optimized to avoid
having to memmove(3) unnecessary bytes.
* rs/ls-files-partial-optim:
ls-files: move only kept cache entries in prune_cache()
ls-files: pass prefix length explicitly to prune_cache()
A new coccinelle rule that catches a check of !pointer before the
