As nobody maintains our in-tree git.spec.in and distros use their
own spec file, we stopped pretending that we support "make rpm".
* jc/drop-git-spec-in:
Makefile: remove dependency on git.spec
Makefile: stop pretending to support rpmbuild
HTTP transport clients learned to throw extra HTTP headers at the
server, specified via http.extraHeader configuration variable.
* js/http-custom-headers:
http: support sending custom HTTP headers
The test scripts for "git p4" (but not "git p4" implementation
itself) has been updated so that they would work even on a system
where the installed version of Python is python 3.
* ld/p4-test-py3:
git-p4 tests: time_in_seconds should use $PYTHON_PATH
git-p4 tests: work with python3 as well as python2
git-p4 tests: cd to / before running python
A question by "git send-email" to ask the identity of the sender
has been updated.
* jd/send-email-to-whom:
send-email: fix grammo in the prompt that asks e-mail recipients
"git describe --contains" often made a hard-to-justify choice of
tag to give name to a given commit, because it tried to come up
with a name with smallest number of hops from a tag, causing an old
commit whose close descendant that is recently tagged were not
described with respect to an old tag but with a newer tag. It did
not help that its computation of "hop" count was further tweaked to
penalize being on a side branch of a merge. The logic has been
updated to favor using the tag with the oldest tagger date, which
is a lot easier to explain to the end users: "We describe a commit
in terms of the (chronologically) oldest tag that contains the
commit."
* js/name-rev-use-oldest-ref:
name-rev: include taggerdate in considering the best name
"git p4" learned to record P4 jobs in Git commit that imports from
the history in Perforce.
* jd/p4-jobs-in-commit:
git-p4: add P4 jobs to git commit message
git-p4: clean-up code style in tests
"merge-recursive" strategy incorrectly checked if a path that is
involved in its internal merge exists in the working tree.
* en/merge-fixes:
merge-recursive: do not check working copy when creating a virtual merge base
merge-recursive: remove duplicate code
The changes are described in CHANGES.

On Cygwin, object creation uses the "create a temporary and then
rename it to the final name" pattern, not "create a temporary,
hardlink it to the final name and then unlink the temporary"
pattern.
This is necessary to use Git on Windows shared directories, and is
already enabled for the MinGW and plain Windows builds. It also
has been used in Cygwin packaged versions of Git for quite a while.
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/291853
($gmane/275680, $gmane/291853).
* ad/cygwin-wants-rename:
config.mak.uname: Cygwin needs OBJECT_CREATION_USES_RENAMES
"git config" had a codepath that tried to pass a NULL to
printf("%s"), which nobody seems to have noticed.
* jk/do-not-printf-NULL:
git_config_set_multivar_in_file: handle "unset" errors
git_config_set_multivar_in_file: all non-zero returns are errors
config: lower-case first word of error strings
The socks5:// proxy support added back in 2.6.4 days was not aware
that socks5h:// proxies behave differently.
* jc/http-socks5h:
http: differentiate socks5:// and socks5h://
Support for CRAM-MD5 authentication method in "git imap-send" did
not work well.
* ky/imap-send:
imap-send: fix CRAM-MD5 response calculation
imap-send: check for NOLOGIN capability only when using LOGIN command
"git commit" misbehaved in a few minor ways when an empty message
is given via -m '', all of which has been corrected.
* ad/commit-have-m-option:
commit: do not ignore an empty message given by -m ''
commit: --amend -m '' silently fails to wipe message
A partial rewrite of "git submodule" in the 2.7 timeframe changed
the way the gitdir: pointer in the submodules point at the real
repository location to use absolute paths by accident. This has
been corrected.
* sb/submodule-helper-clone-regression-fix:
submodule--helper, module_clone: catch fprintf failure
submodule--helper: do not borrow absolute_path() result for too long
submodule--helper, module_clone: always operate on absolute paths
submodule--helper clone: create the submodule path just once
submodule--helper: fix potential NULL-dereference
recursive submodules: test for relative paths
A change back in version 2.7 to "git branch" broke display of a
symbolic ref in a non-standard place in the refs/ hierarchy (we
expect symbolic refs to appear in refs/remotes/*/HEAD to point at
the primary branch the remote has, and as .git/HEAD to point at the
branch we locally checked out).
* jk/branch-shortening-funny-symrefs:
branch: fix shortening of non-remote symrefs
"git format-patch --help" showed `-s` and `--no-patch` as if these
are valid options to the command. We already hide `--patch` option
from the documentation, because format-patch is about showing the
diff, and the documentation now hides these options as well.
* es/format-patch-doc-hide-no-patch:
git-format-patch.txt: don't show -s as shorthand for multiple options
When "git worktree" feature is in use, "git branch -m" renamed a
branch that is checked out in another worktree without adjusting
the HEAD symbolic ref for the worktree.
* ky/branch-m-worktree:
set_worktree_head_symref(): fix error message
branch -m: update all per-worktree HEADs
refs: add a new function set_worktree_head_symref
When "git worktree" feature is in use, "git branch -d" allowed
deletion of a branch that is checked out in another worktree
* ky/branch-d-worktree:
branch -d: refuse deleting a branch which is currently checked out
The repository set-up sequence has been streamlined (the biggest
change is that there is no longer git_config_early()), so that we
do not attempt to look into refs/* when we know we do not have a
Git repository.
* jk/check-repository-format:
verify_repository_format: mark messages for translation
setup: drop repository_format_version global
setup: unify repository version callbacks
init: use setup.c's repo version verification
setup: refactor repo format reading and verification
config: drop git_config_early
check_repository_format_gently: stop using git_config_early
lazily load core.sharedrepository
wrap shared_repository global in get/set accessors
setup: document check_repository_format()
"git send-email" now uses a more readable timestamps when
formulating a message ID.
* ew/send-email-readable-message-id:
send-email: more meaningful Message-ID
When running "git blame $path" with unnormalized data in the index
for the path, the data in the working tree was blamed, even though
"git add" would not have changed what is already in the index, due
to "safe crlf" that disables the line-end conversion. It has been
corrected.
* tb/blame-force-read-cache-to-workaround-safe-crlf:
correct blame for files commited with CRLF
"git send-pack --all <there>" was broken when its command line
option parsing was written in the 2.6 timeframe.
* sk/send-pack-all-fix:
git-send-pack: fix --all option when used with directory
"git diff -M" used to work better when two originally identical
files A and B got renamed to X/A and X/B by pairing A to X/A and B
to X/B, but this was broken in the 2.0 timeframe.
* sg/diff-multiple-identical-renames:
diffcore: fix iteration order of identical files during rename detection
Build updates for MSVC.
* ss/msvc:
MSVC: use shipped headers instead of fallback definitions
MSVC: vsnprintf in Visual Studio 2015 doesn't need SNPRINTF_SIZE_CORR any more
Unify internal logic between "git tag -v" and "git verify-tag"
commands by making one directly call into the other.
* st/verify-tag:
tag -v: verify directly rather than exec-ing verify-tag
verify-tag: move tag verification code to tag.c
verify-tag: prepare verify_tag for libification
verify-tag: update variable name and type
t7030: test verifying multiple tags
builtin/verify-tag.c: ignore SIGPIPE in gpg-interface
mmap emulation on Windows has been optimized and work better without
consuming paging store when not needed.
* js/win32-mmap:
mmap(win32): avoid expensive fstat() call
mmap(win32): avoid copy-on-write when it is unnecessary
win32mmap: set errno appropriately
"git push" from a corrupt repository that attempts to push a large
number of refs deadlocked; the thread to relay rejection notices
for these ref updates blocked on writing them to the main thread,
after the main thread at the receiving end notices that the push
failed and decides not to read these notices and return a failure.
* jk/push-client-deadlock-fix:
t5504: drop sigpipe=ok from push tests
fetch-pack: isolate sigpipe in demuxer thread
send-pack: isolate sigpipe in demuxer thread
run-command: teach async threads to ignore SIGPIPE
send-pack: close demux pipe before finishing async process
