- The advice message to tell the user to migrate an existing graft

- even when "git replace --convert-graft-file" command, which is the
- way the message suggests to use, was running, which made little

+* js/help-commands-verbose-by-default-fix (2018-12-12) 2 commits
+ + help -a: handle aliases with long names gracefully

- "git diff --raw" lost ellipses to adjust the output columns for

+ "git help -a" did not work well when an overly long alias is
+ defined, which has been corrected.

+* js/mailinfo-format-flowed-fix (2018-12-13) 1 commit
+ + t4256: mark support files as LF-only

- "git format-patch --range-diff" by mistake passed the diff options
- used to generate the primary output of the command to the
- range-diff machinery, which caused the range-diff in the cover
- letter to include fairly useless "--stat" output.  This has been
- corrected by forcing a non-customizable default formatting options
- on the range-diff machinery when driven by format-patch.
+ Test portability fix.


-* js/rebase-reflog-action-fix (2018-11-30) 1 commit

+* nd/show-gitcomp-compilation-fix (2018-12-12) 1 commit
+ + parse-options: fix SunCC compiler warning

- "git rebase" reimplemented recently in C accidentally changed the
- way reflog entries are recorded (earlier "rebase -i" identified the
- entries it leaves with "rebase -i", but the new version always
- marks them with "rebase").  This has been corrected.

-
- "git rebase --stat" to transplant a piece of history onto a totally
- unrelated history were not working before and silently showed wrong
- result.  With the recent reimplementation in C, it started to instead
- die with an error message, as the original logic was not prepared
