* "git-svn" used with SVN 1.8.0 when talking over https:// connection
dumped core due to a bug in the serf library that SVN uses. Work
it around on our side, even though the SVN side is being fixed.
* On MacOS X, we detected if the filesystem needs the "pre-composed
unicode strings" workaround, but did not automatically enable it.
Now we do.

* A packfile that stores the same object more than once is broken and
will be rejected by "git index-pack" that is run when receiving
data over the wire.
* Earlier we started rejecting an attempt to add 0{40} object name to
the index and to tree objects, but it sometimes is necessary to
allow so to be able to use tools like filter-branch to correct such

* If a build-time fallback is set to "cat" instead of "less", we
should apply the same "no subprocess or pipe" optimization as we

* Many commands use --dashed-option as a operation mode selector

* When send-email comes up with an error message to die with upon
failure to start an SSL session, it tried to read the error string

* The implementation of "add -i" has a crippling code to work around
ActiveState Perl limitation but it by mistake also triggered on Git
for Windows where MSYS perl is used.

* We made sure that we notice the user-supplied GIT_DIR is actually a
gitfile, but did not do the same when the default ".git" is a
gitfile.

* When an object is not found after checking the packfiles and then
