deprecating and warning a pathspec that has such an element in
2.11 (Nov 2016).

* A hook script that is set unexecutable is simply ignored. Git
notifies when such a file is ignored, unless the message is
squelched via advice.ignoredHook configuration.

* "git pull" has been taught to accept "--[no-]signoff" option and
pass it down to "git merge".

* The "--push-option=<string>" option to "git push" now defaults to a
list of strings configured via push.pushOption variable.

* "gitweb" checks if a directory is searchable with Perl's "-x"
operator, which can be enhanced by using "filetest 'access'"
pragma, which now we do.

* "git stash save" has been deprecated in favour of "git stash push".

lockfile structure (as opposed to having to deliberately leak an
on-heap one). Many codepaths have been updated to take advantage
of this new facility.

* Calling cmd_foo() as if it is a general purpose helper function is
a no-no. Correct two instances of such to set an example.
(merge a92b1095d1 jc/no-cmd-as-subroutine later to maint).

* We try to see if somebody runs our test suite with a shell that
does not support "local" like bash/dash does.
(merge 01d3a526ad mh/test-local-canary later to maint).

* An early part of piece-by-piece rewrite of "git bisect" in C.

* GSoC to piece-by-piece rewrite "git submodule" in C.

* Optimize the code to find shortest unique prefix of object names.

* Pathspec-limited revision traversal was taught not to keep finding
unneeded differences once it knows two trees are different inside
given pathspec.

* Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues.

* "git check-ref-format --branch @{-1}" bit a "BUG()" when run
outside a repository for obvious reasons; clarify the documentation
and make sure we do not even try to expand the at-mark magic in
such a case, but still call the validation logic for branch names.

* "git fetch --recurse-submodules" now knows that submodules can be
moved around in the superproject in addition to getting updated,
and finds the ones that need to be fetched accordingly.
