* Clean-up of the C part of i18n (but not l10n---please wait)
continues.

* The scripting part of the codebase is getting prepared for i18n/l10n.

* Processes spawned by "[alias] <name> = !process" in the configuration
can inspect GIT_PREFIX environment variable to learn where in the
working tree the original command was invoked.

* A magic pathspec ":/" tells a command that limits its operation to
the current directory when ran from a subdirectory to work on the
entire working tree. In general, ":/path/to/file" would be relative
to the root of the working tree hierarchy.

After "git reset --hard; edit Makefile; cd t/", "git add -u" would
be a no-op, but "git add -u :/" would add the updated contents of
the Makefile at the top level. If you want to name a path in the
current subdirectory whose unusual name begins with ":/", you can
name it by "./:/that/path" or by "\:/that/path".

* "git blame" learned "--abbrev[=<n>]" option to control the minimum
number of hexdigits shown for commit object names.

* "git blame" learned "--line-porcelain" that is less efficient but is
easier to parse.

* Aborting "git commit --interactive" discards updates to the index
made during the interctive session.

"--show-notes" option. Unlike "--show-notes", "--notes=<ref>" does
not imply showing the default notes.

* "git ls-remote" learned "--exit-code" option to consider it a
different kind of error when no remote ref to be shown.

* "git merge" learned "-" as a short-hand for "the previous branch", just
like the way "git checkout -" works.

* The single-key mode of "git add -p" was easily fooled into thinking
that it was told to add everthing ('a') when up-arrow was pressed by
mistake.

* "git cherry-pick -s resolve" failed to cherry-pick a root commit.

* "git config" used to choke with an insanely long line.
(merge ef/maint-strbuf-init later)

* "git diff --word-diff" misbehaved when diff.suppress-blank-empty was
in effect.
(merge jm/maint-diff-words-with-sbe later)

* "git log --stdin path" with an input that has additional pathspec
used to corrupt memory.
