The completion script (in contrib/) learned to complete "git push

(merged to 'next' on 2017-04-26 at 0c69cff69f)
+ completion: optionally disable checkout DWIM

Doc update.
Completion for "git checkout <branch>" that auto-creates the branch
out of a remote tracking branch can now be disabled, as this
completion often gets in the way when completing to checkout an
existing local branch that happens to share the same prefix with
bunch of remote tracking branches.


* cc/split-index-config (2017-04-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2017-04-23 at 5996ddc3f2)

(merged to 'next' on 2017-04-26 at 6a55996734)
+ prio_queue_reverse: don't swap elements with themselves

The split-index code configuration code used an unsafe git_path()
function without copying its result out.
Code clean-up.


* gb/rebase-signoff (2017-04-18) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2017-04-19 at c3c04e6a71)
+ rebase: pass --[no-]signoff option to git am
+ builtin/am: fold am_signoff() into am_append_signoff()
+ builtin/am: honor --signoff also when --rebasing
* jk/submodule-init-segv-fix (2017-04-24) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2017-04-26 at 9a6eaaff89)
+ submodule_init: die cleanly on submodules without url defined

"git rebase" learns "--signoff" option.


* jh/add-index-entry-optim (2017-04-19) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2017-04-23 at 295d4066a8)
+ read-cache: speed up has_dir_name (part 2)
+ read-cache: speed up has_dir_name (part 1)
+ read-cache: speed up add_index_entry during checkout
+ p0006-read-tree-checkout: perf test to time read-tree
+ read-cache: add strcmp_offset function

"git checkout" that handles a lot of paths has been optimized by
reducing the number of unnecessary checks of paths in the
has_dir_name() function.


* jk/update-links-in-docs (2017-04-20) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2017-04-23 at f64249bbdf)

+ gitcore-tutorial: update broken link
+ doc: replace or.cz gitwiki link with git.wiki.kernel.org
+ doc: use https links to avoid http redirect

Many stale HTTP(s) links have been updated in our documentation.


* jk/war-on-git-path (2017-04-20) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2017-04-23 at 212e0a58ff)
+ am: drop "dir" parameter from am_state_init
+ replace strbuf_addstr(git_path()) with git_path_buf()
+ replace xstrdup(git_path(...)) with git_pathdup(...)
+ use git_path_* helper functions
+ branch: add edit_description() helper
+ bisect: add git_path_bisect_terms helper

While handy, "git_path()" is a dangerous function to use as a
callsite that uses it safely one day can be broken by changes
to other code that calls it. Reduction of its use continues.


* ls/travis-coccicheck (2017-04-16) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2017-04-23 at fa42ffe6b2)
+ travis-ci: add static analysis build job to run coccicheck

+ ref-cache: rename `add_ref()` to `add_ref_entry()`
+ refs_verify_refname_available(): use function in more places
+ refs_verify_refname_available(): implement once for all backends
+ refs_ref_iterator_begin(): new function
+ refs_read_raw_ref(): new function
+ get_ref_dir(): don't call read_loose_refs() for "refs/bisect"

The internals of the refs API around the cached refs has been
streamlined.


* nd/conditional-config-in-early-config (2017-04-19) 3 commits

+ config: correct file reading order in read_early_config()
+ config: handle conditional include when $GIT_DIR is not set up
+ config: prepare to pass more info in git_config_with_options()

The recently introduced conditional inclusion of configuration did
not work well when early-config mechanism was involved.

(merged to 'next' on 2017-04-23 at 160b955fbb)
+ worktree add: add --lock option

Allow to lock a worktree immediately after it's created. This helps
prevent a race between "git worktree add; git worktree lock" and
"git worktree prune".


* pc/t2027-git-to-pipe-cleanup (2017-04-14) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2017-04-23 at b5c28345a9)
+ t2027: avoid using pipes

Having a git command on the upstream side of a pipe in a test
script will hide the exit status from the command, which may cause
us to fail to notice a breakage; rewrite tests in a script to avoid
this issue.


* ps/pathspec-empty-prefix-origin (2017-04-14) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2017-04-23 at b91098d1f7)
+ pathspec: honor `PATHSPEC_PREFIX_ORIGIN` with empty prefix

A recent update broke "git add -p ../foo" from a subdirectory.

+ am: simplify allocations in get_commit_info()

- add--interactive: drop diff.indentHeuristic handling
- SQUASH
- diff: enable indent heuristic by default
- diff: have the diff-* builtins configure diff before initializing revisions
- diff: make the indent heuristic part of diff's basic configuration

Make the "indent" heuristics the default in "diff" and diff.indentHeuristics
configuration variable an escape hatch for those who do no want it.

The fix-up needs to be squashed in.
