The test framework learned a new helper test_match_signal to
check an exit code from getting killed by an expected signal.
* jk/test-match-signal:
t/lib-git-daemon: use test_match_signal
test_must_fail: use test_match_signal
t0005: use test_match_signal as appropriate
tests: factor portable signal check out of t0005
One part of "git am" had an oddball helper function that called
stuff from outside "his" as opposed to calling what we have "ours",
which was not gender-neutral and also inconsistent with the rest of
the system where outside stuff is usuall called "theirs" in
contrast to "ours".
* js/am-call-theirs-theirs-in-fallback-3way:
am: counteract gender bias
"gc.autoPackLimit" when set to 1 should not trigger a repacking

so.

For a long time, we carried an in-code comment that said our

"git commit --amend --allow-empty-message -S" for a commit without

"git rebase -i --autostash" did not restore the auto-stashed change
when the operation was aborted.

Git does not know what the contents in the index should be for a
path added with "git add -N" yet, so "git grep --cached" should not
show hits (or show lack of hits, with -L) in such a path, but that
logic does not apply to "git grep", i.e. searching in the working
tree files. But we did so by mistake, which has been corrected.
* nd/ita-cleanup:

t7810-grep.sh: fix a whitespace inconsistency
t7810-grep.sh: fix duplicated test name
A helper function that takes the contents of a commit object and
finds its subject line did not ignore leading blank lines, as is
commonly done by other codepaths. Make it ignore leading blank
lines to match.
* js/find-commit-subject-ignore-leading-blanks:
reset --hard: skip blank lines when reporting the commit subject
sequencer: use skip_blank_lines() to find the commit subject
commit -C: skip blank lines at the beginning of the message
commit.c: make find_commit_subject() more robust

Skip tests that are unrunnable on platforms without 64-bit long
to avoid unnecessary test failures.
* jk/tzoffset-fix:
t0006: skip "far in the future" test when unsigned long is not long enough
Git's source code refers to timestamps as unsigned longs. On 32-bit
platforms, as well as on Windows, unsigned long is not large enough
to capture dates that are "absurdly far in the future".
While we can fix this issue properly by replacing unsigned long with
a larger type, we want to be a bit more conservative and just skip
those tests on the maint track.

The top level documentation "git help git" still pointed at the

A bug, which caused "git p4" while running under verbose mode to
report paths that are omitted due to branch prefix incorrectly, has
been fixed; the command said "Ignoring file outside of prefix" for
paths that are _inside_.
* ao/p4-has-branch-prefix-fix:

One among four invocations of readlink(1) in our test suite has
been rewritten so that the test can run on systems without the

t7800: readlink may not be available
The internal code used to show local timezone offset is not
prepared to handle timestamps beyond year 2100, and gave a
bogus offset value to the caller. Use a more benign looking
+0000 instead and let "git log" going in such a case, instead
of aborting.

local_tzoffset: detect errors from tm_to_time_t
t0006: test various date formats

Fix an unintended regression in v2.9 that breaks "clone --depth"

be cloned shallowly, which many server instances that host upstream
of the submodules are not prepared for.

"git bisect" makes an internal call to "git diff-tree" when
bisection finds the culprit, but this call did not initialize the

"log --graph --format=" learned that "%>|(N)" specifies the width
relative to the terminal's left edge, not relative to the area to
draw text that is to the right of the ancestry-graph section. It
also now accepts negative N that means the column limit is relative
to the right border.

pretty.c: support <direction>|(<negative number>) forms
pretty: pass graph width to pretty formatting for use in '%>|(N)'
"git add -i/-p" learned to honor diff.compactionHeuristic

Since 47f0b6d5 (Fall back to three-way merge when applying a patch.,
2005-10-06), i.e. for almost 11 years already, we used a male form
to describe "the other tree".
While it was unintended, this gave the erroneous impression as if
the Git developers thought of users as male, and were unaware of the
important role in software development played by female actors such
as Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper and Margaret Hamilton. In fact, the
first professional software developers were all female.
Let's change those unfortunate references to the gender neutral
"their tree". Doing so also makes the fallback_merge_recursive(),
which is an oddball, more in line with the other parts of the system
where we contrast what we have vs what we obtain from others by
saying "ours" vs "theirs". This inconsistency was also unintended.
