The reflog output format is documented better, and a new format
--date=unix to report the seconds-since-epoch (without timezone)
has been added.
* jk/reflog-date:
date: clarify --date=raw description
date: add "unix" format
date: document and test "raw-local" mode
doc/pretty-formats: explain shortening of %gd
doc/pretty-formats: describe index/time formats for %gd
doc/rev-list-options: explain "-g" output formats
doc/rev-list-options: clarify "commit@{Nth}" for "-g" option
"git merge" with renormalization did not work well with
merge-recursive, due to "safer crlf" conversion kicking in when it
shouldn't.
* jc/renormalize-merge-kill-safer-crlf:
merge: avoid "safer crlf" during recording of merge results
convert: unify the "auto" handling of CRLF
There are certain house-keeping tasks that need to be performed at
the very beginning of any Git program, and programs that are not
built-in commands had to do them exactly the same way as "git"
potty does. It was easy to make mistakes in one-off standalone
programs (like test helpers). A common "main()" function that
calls cmd_main() of individual program has been introduced to
make it harder to make mistakes.
* jk/common-main:
mingw: declare main()'s argv as const
common-main: call git_setup_gettext()
common-main: call restore_sigpipe_to_default()
common-main: call sanitize_stdfds()
common-main: call git_extract_argv0_path()
add an extra level of indirection to main()
"git difftool <paths>..." started in a subdirectory failed to
interpret the paths relative to that directory, which has been
fixed.
* jk/difftool-in-subdir:
difftool: use Git::* functions instead of passing around state
difftool: avoid $GIT_DIR and $GIT_WORK_TREE
difftool: fix argument handling in subdirs
Not-so-recent rewrite of "git am" that started making internal
calls into the commit machinery had an unintended regression, in
that no matter how many seconds it took to apply many patches, the
resulting committer timestamp for the resulting commits were all
the same.
* jk/reset-ident-time-per-commit:
am: reset cached ident date for each patch
A minor documentation update.
This was split out from a stalled jh/clean-smudge-annex topic
before discarding it.
* jh/clean-smudge-f-doc:

The API documentation for hashmap was unclear if hashmap_entry
can be safely discarded without any other consideration. State
that it is safe to do so.
* jc/hashmap-doc-init:
hashmap: clarify that hashmap_entry can safely be discarded
FreeBSD can lie when asked mtime of a directory, which made the
untracked cache code to fall back to a slow-path, which in turn
caused tests in t7063 to fail because it wanted to verify the
behaviour of the fast-path.
* nd/fbsd-lazy-mtime:
t7063: work around FreeBSD's lazy mtime update feature
The characters in the label shown for tags/refs for commits in
"gitweb" output are now properly escaped for proper HTML output.

Windows port was failing some tests in t4130, due to the lack of
inum in the returned values by its lstat(2) emulation.
* js/t4130-rename-without-ino:

"git -c grep.patternType=extended log --basic-regexp" misbehaved
because the internal API to access the grep machinery was not
designed well.

grep: further simplify setting the pattern type
There is an optimization used in "git diff $treeA $treeB" to borrow
an already checked-out copy in the working tree when it is known to
be the same as the blob being compared, expecting that open/mmap of
such a file is faster than reading it from the object store, which
involves inflating and applying delta. This however kicked in even
when the checked-out copy needs to go through the convert-to-git
conversion (including the clean filter), which defeats the whole
point of the optimization. The optimization has been disabled when
the conversion is necessary.
* jk/diff-do-not-reuse-wtf-needs-cleaning:
diff: do not reuse worktree files that need "clean" conversion
The build procedure for "git persistent-https" helper (in contrib/)
has been updated so that it can be built with more recent versions
of Go.
* pm/build-persistent-https-with-recent-go:
contrib/persistent-https: use Git version for build label
contrib/persistent-https: update ldflags syntax for Go 1.7+
"git merge" in Git v2.9 was taught to forbid merging an unrelated
lines of history by default, but that is exactly the kind of thing
the "--rejoin" mode of "git subtree" (in contrib/) wants to do.
"git subtree" has been taught to use the "--allow-unrelated-histories"
option to override the default.
* da/subtree-2.9-regression:
subtree: fix "git subtree split --rejoin"
t7900-subtree.sh: fix quoting and broken && chains
"git commit --help" said "--no-verify" is only about skipping the
pre-commit hook, and failed to say that it also skipped the
commit-msg hook.
* os/no-verify-skips-commit-msg-too:
commit: describe that --no-verify skips the commit-msg hook in the help text
The use of strbuf in "git rm" to build filename to remove was a bit
suboptimal, which has been fixed.
* rs/rm-strbuf-optim:
rm: reuse strbuf for all remove_dir_recursively() calls
Users of the parse_options_concat() API function need to allocate
extra slots in advance and fill them with OPT_END() when they want
to decide the set of supported options dynamically, which makes the
code error-prone and hard to read. This has been corrected by tweaking
the API to allocate and return a new copy of "struct option" array.
* jk/parse-options-concat:
parse_options: allocate a new array when concatenating
Existing autoconf generated test for the need to link with pthread
library did not check all the functions from pthread libraries;
recent FreeBSD has some functions in libc but not others, and we
mistakenly thought linking with libc is enough when it is not.
* ew/autoconf-pthread:
configure.ac: stronger test for pthread linkage
The .c/.h sources are marked as such in our .gitattributes file so
that "git diff -W" and friends would work better.
* rs/help-c-source-with-gitattributes:

"git status" learned to suggest "merge --abort" during a conflicted
merge, just like it already suggests "rebase --abort" during a
conflicted rebase.
* mm/status-suggest-merge-abort:
status: suggest 'git merge --abort' when appropriate
Code cleanup.
* rs/submodule-config-code-cleanup:
submodule-config: fix test binary crashing when no arguments given
submodule-config: combine early return code into one goto
submodule-config: passing name reference for .gitmodule blobs
submodule-config: use explicit empty string instead of strbuf in config_from()
Build clean-up.
* nd/test-helpers:
t/test-lib.sh: fix running tests with --valgrind
Makefile: use VCSSVN_LIB to refer to svn library
Makefile: drop extra dependencies for test helpers
Code cleanup.
* rs/use-strbuf-addbuf:
strbuf: avoid calling strbuf_grow() twice in strbuf_addbuf()
use strbuf_addbuf() for appending a strbuf to another
A small internal API cleanup.
* lf/sideband-returns-void:
upload-pack.c: make send_client_data() return void
sideband.c: make send_sideband() return void
Recent FreeBSD stopped making perl available at /usr/bin/perl;
switch the default the built-in path to /usr/local/bin/perl on not
too ancient FreeBSD releases.
* ew/find-perl-on-freebsd-in-local:
config.mak.uname: correct perl path on FreeBSD
Recent update to "git daemon" tries to enable the socket-level
KEEPALIVE, but when it is spawned via inetd, the standard input
file descriptor may not necessarily be connected to a socket.
Suppress an ENOTSOCK error from setsockopt().
* ew/daemon-socket-keepalive:
Windows: add missing definition of ENOTSOCK
daemon: ignore ENOTSOCK from setsockopt
"git pack-objects" and "git index-pack" mostly operate with off_t
when talking about the offset of objects in a packfile, but there
were a handful of places that used "unsigned long" to hold that
value, leading to an unintended truncation.
* nd/pack-ofs-4gb-limit:
fsck: use streaming interface for large blobs in pack
pack-objects: do not truncate result in-pack object size on 32-bit systems
index-pack: correct "offset" type in unpack_entry_data()
index-pack: report correct bad object offsets even if they are large
index-pack: correct "len" type in unpack_data()
sha1_file.c: use type off_t* for object_info->disk_sizep
pack-objects: pass length to check_pack_crc() without truncation
"git notes merge" had a code to see if a path exists (and fails if
it does) and then open the path for writing (when it doesn't).
Replace it with open with O_EXCL.
* rs/notes-merge-no-toctou:
notes-merge: use O_EXCL to avoid overwriting existing files
An age old bug that caused "git diff --ignore-space-at-eol"
misbehave has been fixed.
* js/ignore-space-at-eol:
diff: fix a double off-by-one with --ignore-space-at-eol
diff: demonstrate a bug with --patience and --ignore-space-at-eol
"git fetch http://user:pass@host/repo..." scrubbed the userinfo
part, but "git push" didn't.
* jk/push-scrub-url:
t5541: fix url scrubbing test when GPG is not set
push: anonymize URL in status output
"git add -N dir/file && git write-tree" produced an incorrect tree
when there are other paths in the same directory that sorts after
"file".
* nd/cache-tree-ita:
cache-tree: do not generate empty trees as a result of all i-t-a subentries
cache-tree.c: fix i-t-a entry skipping directory updates sometimes
test-lib.sh: introduce and use $EMPTY_BLOB
test-lib.sh: introduce and use $EMPTY_TREE
"git blame file" allowed the lineage of lines in the uncommitted,
unadded contents of "file" to be inspected, but it refused when
"file" did not appear in the current commit. When "file" was
created by renaming an existing file (but the change has not been
committed), this restriction was unnecessarily tight.
* mh/blame-worktree:
t/t8003-blame-corner-cases.sh: Use here documents
blame: allow to blame paths freshly added to the index
With GCC 6, the strdup() function is declared with the "nonnull"
attribute, stating that it is not allowed to pass a NULL value as
parameter.
In nedmalloc()'s reimplementation of strdup(), Postel's Law is heeded
and NULL parameters are handled gracefully. GCC 6 complains about that
now because it thinks that NULL cannot be passed to strdup() anyway.
Because the callers in this project of strdup() must be prepared to
call any implementation of strdup() supplied by the platform, so it
is pointless to pretend that it is OK to call it with NULL.
Remove the conditional based on NULL-ness of the input; this
squelches the warning. Check the return value of malloc() instead
to make sure we actually got the memory to write to.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/porting_to.html for details.

Call strbuf_addstr() for adding a simple string to a strbuf instead of
using the heavier strbuf_addf(). This is shorter and documents the
intent more clearly.
