"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.
* cw/cherry-pick-allow-empty-message:
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.
* bc/prune-info:
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
cherry: don't set ignored rev_info options
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.
* jk/docs-docbook-monospace-display:
docs: monospace listings in docbook output
"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.
Improved documentation for the ciabot scripts.
man: git pull -r is a short for --rebase
gitcli: describe abbreviation of long options
rev-list docs: clarify --topo-order description
Documentation/CodingGuidelines: spell out more shell guidelines
Documentation: do not mention .git/refs/* directories
tests: Introduce test_seq
We did not document that many commands take unique prefix
abbreviations of long options (e.g. "--option" may be the only flag
that the command accepts that begin with "--opt", in which case you
can give "--opt") anywhere easy to find for new people.
* jc/maint-abbrev-option-cli:
gitcli: describe abbreviation of long options
It was unclear what "--topo-order" was really about in the
documentation. It is not just about "children before parent", but
also about "don't mix lineages".
* jc/maint-rev-list-topo-doc:
rev-list docs: clarify --topo-order description
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.
* hv/coding-guidelines:
Documentation/CodingGuidelines: spell out more shell guidelines
Our documentation used to assume having files in .git/refs/*
directories was the only to have branches and tags, but that is not
true for quite some time.

Simplify "make check-docs" implementation and update its coverage.
* jk/check-docs-update:
check-docs: get documented command list from Makefile
check-docs: drop git-help special-case
check-docs: list git-gui as a command
check-docs: factor out command-list
command-list: mention git-credential-* helpers
command-list: add git-sh-i18n
check-docs: update non-command documentation list
check-docs: mention gitweb specially
Our documentation used to assume having files in .git/refs/*
directories was the only to have branches and tags, but that is not
true for quite some time.
* jc/tag-doc:
Documentation: do not mention .git/refs/* directories
"gitweb" when used with PATH_INFO failed to notice directories with
SP (and other characters that need URL-style quoting) in them.
* js/gitweb-path-info-unquote:
gitweb: URL-decode $my_url/$my_uri when stripping PATH_INFO
When the user gives an argument that can be taken as both a revision
name and a pathname without disambiguating with "--", we used to
give a help message "Use '--' to separate". The message has been
clarified to show where that '--' goes on the command line.
* mm/die-with-dashdash-help:
setup: clarify error messages for file/revisions ambiguity
