"git status" learned status.branch and status.short configuration
variables to use --branch and --short options by default (override
with --no-branch and --no-short options from the command line).
* jg/status-config:
status/commit: make sure --porcelain is not affected by user-facing config
commit: make it work with status.short
status: introduce status.branch to enable --branch by default
status: introduce status.short to enable --short by default
Earlier remote.pushdefault (and per-branch branch.*.pushremote)
were introduced as an additional mechanism to choose what
repository to push into when "git push" did not say it from the
command line, to help people who push to a repository that is
different from where they fetch from. This attempts to finish that
topic by teaching the default mechanism to choose branch in the
remote repository to be updated by such a push.
The 'current', 'matching' and 'nothing' modes (specified by the
push.default configuration variable) extend to such a "triangular"
workflow naturally, but 'upstream' and 'simple' have to be updated.
. 'upstream' is about pushing back to update the branch in the
remote repository that the current branch fetches from and
integrates with, it errors out in a triangular workflow.
. 'simple' is meant to help new people by avoiding mistakes, and
will be the safe default in Git 2.0.
In a non-triangular workflow, it will continue to act as a cross
between 'upstream' and 'current' in that it pushes to the current
branch's @{upstream} only when it is set to the same name as the
current branch (e.g. your 'master' forks from the 'master' from
the central repository).
In a triangular workflow, this series tentatively defines it as
the same as 'current', but we may have to tighten it to avoid
surprises in some way.
* jc/triangle-push-fixup:
t/t5528-push-default: test pushdefault workflows
t/t5528-push-default: generalize test_push_*
push: change `simple` to accommodate triangular workflows
config doc: rewrite push.default section
t/t5528-push-default: remove redundant test_config lines
Since commit 00b347d (git-config: do not complain about duplicate
entries, 2012-10-23), "git config --get" does not exit with an error if
there are multiple values for the specified key but instead returns the
last value. Update the documentation to reflect this.

The original way to specify remote repository using .git/branches/
used to have a nifty feature. The code to support the feature was
still in a function but the caller was changed not to call it 5
years ago, breaking that feature and leaving the supporting code
unreachable.
* rr/remote-branch-config-refresh:
t/t5505-remote: test multiple push/pull in remotes-file
ls-remote doc: don't encourage use of branches-file
ls-remote doc: rewrite <repository> paragraph

t/t5505-remote: use test_path_is_missing
t/t5505-remote: test push-refspec in branches-file

Having multiple "fixup!" on a line in the rebase instruction sheet
did not work very well with "git rebase -i --autosquash".
* ap/rebase-multiple-fixups:
lib-rebase: style: use write_script, <<-\EOF
rebase -i: handle fixup! fixup! in --autosquash
Update documentation to match more recent realities.
* wk/doc-in-linux-3.x-era:
Documentation: Update 'linux-2.6.git' -> 'linux.git'
Documentation: Update the NFS remote examples to use the staging repo
doc/clone: Pick more compelling paths for the --reference example
doc/clone: Remove the '--bare -l -s' example
"git log" learned the "--author-date-order" option, with which the
output is topologically sorted and commits in parallel histories
are shown intermixed together based on the author timestamp.
* jc/topo-author-date-sort:
t6003: add --author-date-order test
topology tests: teach a helper to set author dates as well
t6003: add --date-order test
topology tests: teach a helper to take abbreviated timestamps
t/lib-t6000: style fixes
log: --author-date-order
sort-in-topological-order: use prio-queue
prio-queue: priority queue of pointers to structs
toposort: rename "lifo" field
* maint:

check-ignore doc: fix broken link to ls-files page
test: spell 'ls-files --delete' option correctly in test descriptions
"git diff" learned a mode that ignores hunks whose change consists
only of additions and removals of blank lines, which is the same as
"diff -B" (ignore blank lines) of GNU diff.
* ap/diff-ignore-blank-lines:
diff: add --ignore-blank-lines option
"git name-rev --refs=tags/v*" were forbidden, which was a bit
inconvenient (you had to give a pattern to match refs fully, like
--refs=refs/tags/v*).
* nk/name-rev-abbreviated-refs:
name-rev: allow to specify a subpath for --refs option
Allow various subcommands of "git submodule" to be run not from the
top of the working tree of the superproject.
* jk/submodule-subdirectory-ok:
submodule: drop the top-level requirement
rev-parse: add --prefix option
submodule: show full path in error message
t7403: add missing && chaining
t7403: modernize style
t7401: make indentation consistent
* jh/checkout-auto-tracking:
glossary: Update and rephrase the definition of a remote-tracking branch
branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of refs/remotes/*
t9114.2: Don't use --track option against "svn-remote"-tracking branches
t7201.24: Add refspec to keep --track working
t3200.39: tracking setup should fail if there is no matching refspec.
checkout: Use remote refspecs when DWIMming tracking branches
t2024: Show failure to use refspec when DWIMming remote branch names
t2024: Add tests verifying current DWIM behavior of 'git checkout <branch>'
Finishing touches for the "git rebase --autostash" feature
introduced earlier.
* rr/rebase-stash-store:
rebase: use 'git stash store' to simplify logic
stash: introduce 'git stash store'
stash: simplify option parser for create
stash doc: document short form -p in synopsis
stash doc: add a warning about using create
In rebase -i --autosquash, ignore all "fixup! " or "squash! " after the
first. This supports the case when a git commit --fixup/--squash referred
to an earlier fixup/squash instead of the original commit (whether
intentionally, as when the user expressly meant to note that the commit
fixes an earlier fixup; or inadvertently, as when the user meant to refer to
the original commit with :/msg; or out of laziness, as when the user could
remember how to refer to the fixup but not the original).
In the todo list, the full commit message is preserved, in case it provides
useful cues to the user. A test helper set_cat_todo_editor is introduced to
check this.

git am was previously modified to provide --continue for consistency
with rebase, merge etc, and the documentation changed to showing
--continue as the primary form.

The fact that the git:// transport does no authentication is easily
overlooked. For example, DNS poisoning may result in fetching from
somewhere that was not intended.
Add a brief security notice to the "GIT URLS" section
of the documentation stating that the git transport should be used
with caution on unsecured networks.

The configuration option column.ui is very poorly documented, and it is

what. Rewrite it by splitting up the options into three sections
