Add a new function, get_tree_entry_follow_symlinks, to tree-walk.[ch].
The function is not yet used. It will be used to implement git
cat-file --batch --follow-symlinks.
The function locates an object by path, following symlinks in the
repository. If the symlinks lead outside the repository, the function
reports this to the caller.

Access to objects in repositories that borrow from another one on a
slow NFS server unnecessarily got more expensive due to recent code
becoming more cautious in a naive way not to lose objects to pruning.
* jk/prune-mtime:
sha1_file: only freshen packs once per run
sha1_file: freshen pack objects before loose
reachable: only mark local objects as recent
Teach the codepaths that read .gitignore and .gitattributes files
that these files encoded in UTF-8 may have UTF-8 BOM marker at the
beginning; this makes it in line with what we do for configuration
files already.
* cn/bom-in-gitignore:
attr: skip UTF8 BOM at the beginning of the input file
config: use utf8_bom[] from utf.[ch] in git_parse_source()
utf8-bom: introduce skip_utf8_bom() helper
add_excludes_from_file: clarify the bom skipping logic
dir: allow a BOM at the beginning of exclude files
"git commit --date=now" or anything that relies on approxidate lost
the daylight-saving-time offset.
* jc/epochtime-wo-tz:
parse_date_basic(): let the system handle DST conversion
parse_date_basic(): return early when given a bogus timestamp
The default $HOME/.gitconfig file created upon "git config --global"
that edits it had incorrectly spelled user.name and user.email
entries in it.
* oh/fix-config-default-user-name-section:
config: fix settings in default_user_config template
"git cat-file bl $blob" failed to barf even though there is no
object type that is "bl".
* jk/type-from-string-gently:
type_from_string_gently: make sure length matches
* ld/p4-filetype-detection:
git-p4: fix filetype detection on files opened exclusively
git-p4: small fix for locked-file-move-test
git-p4: fix small bug in locked test scripts
We avoid setting core.worktree when the repository location is the
".git" directory directly at the top level of the working tree, but
the code misdetected the case in which the working tree is at the
root level of the filesystem (which arguably is a silly thing to
do, but still valid).
* jk/init-core-worktree-at-root:
init: don't set core.worktree when initializing /.git
"git show-branch --topics HEAD" (with no other arguments) did not
do anything interesting. Instead, contrast the given revision
against all the local branches by default.
* mh/show-branch-topic:
show-branch: show all local heads when only giving one rev along --topics
The usual "git diff" when seeing a file turning into a directory
showed a patchset to remove the file and create all files in the
directory, but "git diff --no-index" simply refused to work. Also,
when asked to compare a file and a directory, imitate POSIX "diff"
and compare the file with the file with the same name in the
directory, instead of refusing to run.
* jc/diff-no-index-d-f:
diff-no-index: align D/F handling with that of normal Git
diff-no-index: DWIM "diff D F" into "diff D/F F"
Identify parts of the code that knows that we use SHA-1 hash to
name our objects too much, and use (1) symbolic constants instead
of hardcoded 20 as byte count and/or (2) use struct object_id
instead of unsigned char [20] for object names.
* bc/object-id:
apply: convert threeway_stage to object_id
patch-id: convert to use struct object_id
commit: convert parts to struct object_id
diff: convert struct combine_diff_path to object_id
bulk-checkin.c: convert to use struct object_id
zip: use GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ for trailers
archive.c: convert to use struct object_id
bisect.c: convert leaf functions to use struct object_id
define utility functions for object IDs
define a structure for object IDs
The only changes are to the README files, most notably the list of
maintainers and the project URL.

An earlier update to the parser that disects a URL broke an
address, followed by a colon, followed by an empty string (instead
of the port number), e.g. ssh://example.com:/path/to/repo.
* tb/connect-ipv6-parse-fix:
connect.c: ignore extra colon after hostname
The completion script (in contrib/) contaminated global namespace
and clobbered on a shell variable $x.
* ma/bash-completion-leaking-x:
completion: fix global bash variable leak on __gitcompappend
The "git push --signed" protocol extension did not limit what the
"nonce" that is a server-chosen string can contain or how long it
can be, which was unnecessarily lax. Limit both the length and the
alphabet to a reasonably small space that can still have enough
entropy.
* jc/push-cert:
push --signed: tighten what the receiving end can ask to sign
Document `git status -v`, including its new doubled `-vv` form.

"diff-highlight" (in contrib/) used to show byte-by-byte
differences, which meant that multi-byte characters can be chopped
in the middle. It learned to pay attention to character boundaries
(assuming the UTF-8 payload).
* jk/colors:
diff-highlight: do not split multibyte characters
Test fixes.
* jk/test-annoyances:
t5551: make EXPENSIVE test cheaper
t5541: move run_with_cmdline_limit to test-lib.sh
