"cvsimport" tried to create a tag taken from CVS without
sufficiently sanitizing it, causing the import to fail when an
invalid character in the tagname made underlying "git tag" to fail.

"git apply -p0" did not parse pathnames on "diff --git" line
correctly. This caused patches that had pathnames in no other
places to be mistakenly rejected (most notably, binary patch that
does not rename nor change mode). Textual patches, renames or mode
changes have preimage and postimage pathnames in different places in
a form that can be parsed unambiguously and did not suffer from this
problem.
* jc/apply-binary-p0:
apply: compute patch->def_name correctly under -p0
"git log .." errored out saying it is both rev range and a path when
there is no disambiguating "--" is on the command line. Update the
command line parser to interpret ".." as a path in such a case.
* jc/dotdot-is-parent-directory:
specifying ranges: we did not mean to make ".." an empty set
The synopsis said "checkout [-B branch]" to make it clear the
branch name is a parameter to the option, but the heading for the
option description was "-B::", not "-B branch::", making the
documentation misleading.
* jc/maint-doc-checkout-b-always-takes-branch-name:
doc: "git checkout -b/-B/--orphan" always takes a branch name
Pushing to smart HTTP server with recent Git fails without having
the username in the URL to force authentication, if the server is
configured to allow GET anonymously, while requiring authentication
for POST.
* jk/maint-http-half-auth-push:
http: prompt for credentials on failed POST
http: factor out http error code handling
t: test http access to "half-auth" repositories
t: test basic smart-http authentication
t/lib-httpd: recognize */smart/* repos as smart-http
t/lib-httpd: only route auth/dumb to dumb repos
t5550: factor out http auth setup
t5550: put auth-required repo in auth/dumb
"git for-each-ref" did not honor multiple "--sort=<key>" arguments
correctly.
* kk/maint-for-each-ref-multi-sort:
for-each-ref: Fix sort with multiple keys
t6300: test sort with multiple keys
After overwriting a tag with a new tag, "Reread references" action
in "gitk" correctly moved the marker in the display, but it failed
to discard a cached contents of the tag (even "Reload" didn't).
* da/gitk-reload-tag-contents:
gitk: Rename 'tagcontents' to 'cached_tagcontent'
gitk: Teach "Reread references" to reload tags
gitk: Avoid Meta1-F5
Git ships with a fall-back regexp implementation for platforms with
buggy regexp library; give people a tool to see if they should be
using it on their platform.
* rj/test-regex:
test-regex: Add a test to check for a bug in the regex routines
Use argv-array API in "git fetch" implementation.
* jk/argv-array:
submodule: use argv_array instead of hand-building arrays
fetch: use argv_array instead of hand-building arrays
argv-array: fix bogus cast when freeing array
argv-array: add pop function
Optimise the "merge-base" computation a bit, and also update its
users that do not need the full merge-base information to call a
cheaper subset.
* jc/merge-bases:
reduce_heads(): reimplement on top of remove_redundant()
merge-base: "--is-ancestor A B"
get_merge_bases_many(): walk from many tips in parallel
in_merge_bases(): use paint_down_to_common()
merge_bases_many(): split out the logic to paint history
in_merge_bases(): omit unnecessary redundant common ancestor reduction
http-push: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward check
receive-pack: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward check
in_merge_bases(): support only one "other" commit
"git show --format='%ci'" did not give timestamp correctly for
commits created without human readable name on "committer" line.
* jc/maint-ident-missing-human-name:
split_ident_line(): make best effort when parsing author/committer line
We will wait for a handful of other fixes that have graduated to the
