file when a change added an entire function at the end of the file,
which has been fixed.

* The documentation set has been updated so that literal commands,
configuration variables and environment variables are consistently
typeset in fixed-width font and bold in manpages.

* "git svn propset" subcommand that was added in 2.3 days is
documented now.

* The documentation tries to consistently spell "GPG"; when
referring to the specific program name, "gpg" is used.

* "git reflog" stopped upon seeing an entry that denotes a branch
creation event (aka "unborn"), which made it appear as if the
reflog was truncated.

* The git-prompt scriptlet (in contrib/) was not friendly with those
who uses "set -u", which has been fixed.

* A codepath that used alloca(3) to place an unbounded amount of data
on the stack has been updated to avoid doing so.

* "git update-index --add --chmod=+x file" may be usable as an escape
hatch, but not a friendly thing to force for people who do need to
use it regularly. "git add --chmod=+x file" can be used instead.

* Build improvements for gnome-keyring (in contrib/)

* "git status" used to say "working directory" when it meant "working
tree".

* Comments about misbehaving FreeBSD shells have been clarified with
the version number (9.x and before are broken, newer ones are OK).

* "git cherry-pick A" worked on an unborn branch, but "git
cherry-pick A..B" didn't.

Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
