Certain characters such as "?" can be present in a CVS tag name, but
git does not allow these characters in tags. If git-cvsimport
encounters a CVS tag that git cannot handle, cvsimport will error and
refuse to continue the import beyond that point.
When importing CVS tags, strip all the inappropriate strings from the
tag names as we translate them to git tag names.
Provide more debugging information to the user if we've altered the
tag and the "git tag" command still fails. Also, warn the user if we
end up skipping an (unusable) tag altogether.

Introduce get_max_fd_limit() to absorb platforms that do not have
getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE) and/or sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX).

Done to support compilation on __TANDEM, but is independently useful
for people with older version of libcURL.

http.c: don't use curl_easy_strerror prior to curl-7.12.0
"git submodule update --force" used to leave the working tree of the
submodule intact when there were local changes. It is more intiutive
to make "--force" a sign to run "checkout -f" to overwrite them.
* sz/submodule-force-update:
Make 'git submodule update --force' always check out submodules.
"git stash" internally used "git merge-recursive" backend, which did
not trigger "rerere" upon conflicts unlike other mergy operations.
* ph/stash-rerere:
stash: invoke rerere in case of conflict
test: git-stash conflict sets up rerere
Allow an external command to tell git-daemon to decline service
based on the client address, repository path, etc.

Validate interactive input to "git send-email" to avoid common
mistakes such as saying "y<RETURN>" to sender mail address whose
prompt is given with a correctly guessed default.

send-email: validate & reconfirm interactive responses
"git cherry-pick" by default stops when it sees a commit without any
log message. The "--allow-empty-message" option can be used to
silently proceed.

cherry-pick: add --allow-empty-message option
"git foo" errored out with "Not a directory" when the user had a non
directory on $PATH, and worse yet it masked an alias "foo" to run.
* jc/maint-sane-execvp-notdir:
sane_execvp(): ignore non-directory on $PATH
The exit status code from "git config" was way overspecified while
being incorrect. Update the implementation to give the documented
status for a case that was documented, and introduce a new code for
"all other errors".
* jc/maint-config-exit-status:
config: "git config baa" should exit with status 1
Some capabilities were asked by fetch-pack even when upload-pack did
not advertise that they are available. Fix fetch-pack not to do so.
* jc/capabilities:
fetch-pack: mention server version with verbose output
parse_feature_request: make it easier to see feature values
fetch-pack: do not ask for unadvertised capabilities
do not send client agent unless server does first
send-pack: fix capability-sending logic
include agent identifier in capability string
The reflog entries left by "git rebase" and "git rebase -i" were
inconsistent.
* mg/rebase-i-onto-reflog-in-full:
rebase -i: use full onto sha1 in reflog
When the user exports a non-default IFS without HT, scripts that
rely on being able to parse "ls-files -s | while read a b c..."
start to fail. Protect them from such a misconfiguration.
* jc/maint-protect-sh-from-ifs:
sh-setup: protect from exported IFS
Teach "git prune" without "-v" to be silent about leftover temporary
files.

prune.c: only print informational message in show_only or verbose mode
Minor code clean-up on the cherry-pick codepath.
* mz/cherry-code-cleanup:
cherry: remove redundant check for merge commit

remove unnecessary parameter from get_patch_ids()
The documentation in the TeXinfo format was using indented output
for materials meant to be examples that are better typeset in
monospace.

"git difftool --dir-diff" learned to use symbolic links to prepare
temporary copy of the working tree when available.
* da/difftool-updates:
difftool: silence warning
Add Code Compare v2.80.4 as a merge / diff tool for Windows
mergetool,difftool: Document --tool-help consistently
difftool: Disable --symlinks on cygwin
difftool: Handle compare() returning -1
difftool: Wrap long lines for readability
difftool: Check all return codes from compare()
difftool: Handle finding mergetools/ in a path with spaces
difftool: Use symlinks when diffing against the worktree
difftool: Call the temp directory "git-difftool"
difftool: Move option values into a hash
difftool: Eliminate global variables
difftool: Simplify print_tool_help()
"grep" learned to use a non-standard pattern type by default if a
configuration variable tells it to.
* js/grep-patterntype-config:
grep: add a grep.patternType configuration setting
When "git push" triggered the automatic gc on the receiving end, a
message from "git prune" that said it was removing cruft leaked to
the standard output, breaking the communication protocol.
* bc/receive-pack-stdout-protection:
receive-pack: do not leak output from auto-gc to standard output
t/t5400: demonstrate breakage caused by informational message from prune
The output from "git diff -B" for a file that ends with an
incomplete line did not put "\ No newline..." on a line of its own.
* ab/diff-write-incomplete-line:
Fix '\ No newline...' annotation in rewrite diffs
We do not want a link to 0{40} object stored anywhere in our objects.
* jk/maint-null-in-trees:
fsck: detect null sha1 in tree entries
do not write null sha1s to on-disk index
diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel value
In the next major release, we will switch "git push [$there]" that
does not say what to push from the traditional "matching" to the
updated "simple" semantics, that pushes the current branch to the
branch with the same name only when the current branch is set to
integrate with that remote branch (all other cases will error out).
* mm/push-default-switch-warning:
push: start warning upcoming default change for push.default
* maint-1.7.11:
Prepare for 1.7.11.6
Make the ciabot scripts completely self-configuring in the normal case.

We did not document that many commands take unique prefix
abbreviations of long options (e.g. "--option" may be the only flag

can give "--opt") anywhere easy to find for new people.

It was unclear what "--topo-order" was really about in the

also about "don't mix lineages".

In earlier days, "imitate the style in the neibouring code" was
sufficient to keep the coherent style, but over time some parts of
the codebase have drifted enough to make it ineffective.

Our documentation used to assume having files in .git/refs/*

Not all platforms have getrlimit(), but there are other ways to see
the maximum number of files that a process can have open. If
getrlimit() is unavailable, fall back to sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) if
available, and use OPEN_MAX from <limits.h>.

Currently, it will only do a checkout if the sha1 registered in the containing
repository doesn't match the HEAD of the submodule, regardless of whether the
submodule is dirty. As discussed on the mailing list, the '--force' flag is a
strong indicator that the state of the submodule is suspect, and should be reset
to HEAD.

This script is one of the sizeable ones that tempted people to copy
its "neibouring style" in their new code, but was littered with
styles incompatible with our style guide.
- use one tab, not four spaces, per indent level;
- long lines can be wrapped after '|', '&&', or '||' for
readability.
- structures like "if .. then .. else .. fi", "while .. do .. done"
are split into lines in such a way that does not require
unnecessary semicolon.
- case, esac and case-arms align at the same column.
