In the 2.18 cycle, directory rename detection was merged, then reverted,
then reworked in such a way to fix another prominent bug in addition to
the original problem causing it to be reverted. When the reworked series
was merged, we ended up with two nearly duplicate release notes. Remove
the second copy, but preserve the information about the extra bug fix.

Our HTTP client code used to advertise that we accept gzip encoding
from the other side; instead, just let cURL library to advertise
and negotiate the best one.
* bw/remote-curl-compressed-responses:
remote-curl: accept compressed responses with protocol v2
remote-curl: accept all encodings supported by curl
Leak plugging.
* ma/unpack-trees-free-msgs:
unpack_trees_options: free messages when done
argv-array: return the pushed string from argv_push*()
merge-recursive: provide pair of `unpack_trees_{start,finish}()`
merge: setup `opts` later in `checkout_fast_forward()`
Many tests hardcode the raw object names, which would change once
we migrate away from SHA-1. While some of them must test against
exact object names, most of them do not have to use hardcoded
constants in the test. The latter kind of tests have been updated
to test the moral equivalent of the original without hardcoding the
actual object names.

We used to call regfree() after regcomp() failed in some codepaths,
which have been corrected.
* ma/regex-no-regfree-after-comp-fail:
regex: do not call `regfree()` if compilation fails
Avoid unchecked snprintf() to make future code auditing easier.
* jk/snprintf-truncation:
fmt_with_err: add a comment that truncation is OK
shorten_unambiguous_ref: use xsnprintf
fsmonitor: use internal argv_array of struct child_process

http: use strbufs instead of fixed buffers
By code restructuring of submodule merge in merge-recursive,
informational messages from the codepath are now given using the
same mechanism as other output, and honor the merge.verbosity
configuration. The code also learned to give a few new messages
when a submodule three-way merge resolves cleanly when one side
records a descendant of the commit chosen by the other side.
* sb/submodule-merge-in-merge-recursive:
merge-recursive: give notice when submodule commit gets fast-forwarded
merge-recursive: i18n submodule merge output and respect verbosity
submodule.c: move submodule merging to merge-recursive.c
"git fetch $there $refspec" that talks over protocol v2 can take
advantage of server-side ref filtering; the code has been extended
so that this mechanism triggers also when fetching with configured
refspec.
* bw/ref-prefix-for-configured-refspec: (38 commits)
fetch: generate ref-prefixes when using a configured refspec
refspec: consolidate ref-prefix generation logic

fetch: convert prune_refs to take a struct refspec
fetch: convert get_ref_map to take a struct refspec
fetch: convert do_fetch to take a struct refspec
refspec: remove the deprecated functions

Error behaviour of "git grep" when it cannot read the index was
inconsistent with other commands that uses the index, which has
been corrected to error out early.
* sb/grep-die-on-unreadable-index:
grep: handle corrupt index files early
"git submodule update" attempts two different kinds of "git fetch"
against the upstream repository to grab a commit bound at the
submodule's path, but it incorrectly gave up if the first kind
(i.e. a normal fetch) failed, making the second "last resort" one
(i.e. fetching an exact commit object by object name) ineffective.
This has been corrected.
* sb/submodule-update-try-harder:
git-submodule.sh: try harder to fetch a submodule
Update credential-netrc helper (in contrib/) to allow customizing
the GPG used to decrypt the encrypted .netrc file.
* lm/credential-netrc:
git-credential-netrc: accept gpg option
git-credential-netrc: adapt to test framework for git
When a short hexadecimal string is used to name an object but there
are multiple objects that share the string as the prefix of their
names, the code lists these ambiguous candidates in a help message.
These object names are now sorted according to their types for
easier eyeballing.
* ab/get-short-oid:
get_short_oid: sort ambiguous objects by type, then SHA-1
sha1-name.c: move around the collect_ambiguous() function
git-p4: change "commitish" typo to "committish"

...
"git blame" learns to unhighlight uninteresting metadata from the
originating commit on lines that are the same as the previous one,
and also paint lines in different colors depending on the age of
the commit.
* sb/blame-color:
builtin/blame: add new coloring scheme config
builtin/blame: highlight recently changed lines
builtin/blame: dim uninteresting metadata lines
"git submodule update" and "git submodule add" supported the
"--reference" option to borrow objects from a neighbouring local
repository like "git clone" does, but lacked the more recent
invention "--dissociate". Also "git submodule add" has been taught
to take the "--progress" option.
* cf/submodule-progress-dissociate:
submodule: add --dissociate option to add/update commands
submodule: add --progress option to add command
submodule: clean up substitutions in script

Developer support. Use newer GCC on one of the builds done at
TravisCI.org to get more warnings and errors diagnosed.
* nd/travis-gcc-8:
travis-ci: run gcc-8 on linux-gcc jobs
"git update-ref A B" is supposed to ensure that ref A does not yet
exist when B is a NULL OID, but this check was not done correctly
for pseudo-refs outside refs/ hierarchy, e.g. MERGE_HEAD.
* ma/create-pseudoref-with-null-old-oid:
refs: handle zero oid for pseudorefs
t1400: add tests around adding/deleting pseudorefs
refs.c: refer to "object ID", not "sha1", in error messages
Code clean-up to turn history traversal more robust in a
semi-corrupt repository.
* jk/unavailable-can-be-missing:
mark_parents_uninteresting(): avoid most allocation
mark_parents_uninteresting(): replace list with stack
mark_parents_uninteresting(): drop missing object check
mark_tree_contents_uninteresting(): drop missing object check
"git status" learned to honor a new status.renames configuration to
skip rename detection, which could be useful for those who want to
do so without disabling the default rename detection done by the
"git diff" command.
* bp/status-rename-config:
add status config and command line options for rename detection
Developer support update, by using BUG() macro instead of die() to
mark codepaths that should not happen more clearly.
* js/use-bug-macro:
BUG_exit_code: fix sparse "symbol not declared" warning
Convert remaining die*(BUG) messages
Replace all die("BUG: ...") calls by BUG() ones
run-command: use BUG() to report bugs, not die()
test-tool: help verifying BUG() code paths
the_repository->index is not a allocated piece of memory but
repo_clear() indiscriminately attempted to free(3) it, which has
been corrected.
* nd/repo-clear-keep-the-index:
repository: fix free problem with repo_clear(the_repository)
Code clean-up to adjust to a more recent lockfile API convention that
allows lockfile instances kept on the stack.
* ma/lockfile-cleanup:
lock_file: move static locks into functions
lock_file: make function-local locks non-static
refs.c: do not die if locking fails in `delete_pseudoref()`
refs.c: do not die if locking fails in `write_pseudoref()`
t/helper/test-write-cache: clean up lock-handling
With merge.renames configuration set to false, the recursive merge
strategy can be told not to spend cycles trying to find renamed
paths and merge them accordingly.
* bp/merge-rename-config:
merge: pass aggressive when rename detection is turned off
merge: add merge.renames config setting
merge: update documentation for {merge,diff}.renameLimit

rebase --rebase-merges: root commits can be cousins, too
rebase --rebase-merges: a "merge" into a new root is a fast-forward
sequencer: allow introducing new root commits
rebase -i --root: let the sequencer handle even the initial part
sequencer: learn about the special "fake root commit" handling
sequencer: extract helper to update active_cache_tree
"git send-email" can sometimes offer confirmation dialog "Send this
email?" with choices 'Yes', 'No', 'Quit', and 'All'. A new action
'Edit' has been added to this dialog's choice.
* dd/send-email-reedit:
git-send-email: allow re-editing of message
The command line completion mechanism (in contrib/) learned to load
custom completion file for "git $command" where $command is a
custom "git-$command" that the end user has on the $PATH when using
newer version of bash.
* fg/completion-external:
completion: load completion file for external subcommand
Asciidoctor gives a reasonable imitation for AsciiDoc, but does not
render illustration in a literal block correctly when indented with
HT by default. The problem is fixed by forcing 8-space tabs.
* bc/asciidoctor-tab-width:
Documentation: render revisions correctly under Asciidoctor
Documentation: use 8-space tabs with Asciidoctor
"git status" learned to pay attention to UI related diff
configuration variables such as diff.renames.
* em/status-rename-config:

certain use of the in-core merge machinery, which has been fixed.
* en/unpack-trees-split-index-fix:
unpack_trees: fix breakage when o->src_index != o->dst_index
"git format-patch --cover --attach" created a broken MIME multipart
message for the cover letter, which has been fixed by keeping the
cover letter as plain text file.
* bc/format-patch-cover-no-attach:
format-patch: make cover letters always text/plain
A test to see if the filesystem normalizes UTF-8 filename has been
updated to check what we need to know in a more direct way, i.e. a
path created in NFC form can be accessed with NFD form (or vice
versa) to cope with APFS as well as HFS.
* tb/test-apfs-utf8-normalization:
test: correct detection of UTF8_NFD_TO_NFC for APFS
