releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
* The i18n of error message "git stash save" was not properly done.
(merge ed3c400 rl/maint-stash-i18n-save-error later to maint).
* The report from "git fetch" said "new branch" even for a non branch
ref.
(merge 0997ada mb/fetch-call-a-non-branch-a-ref later to maint).
* The "diff --no-index" codepath used limited-length buffers, risking
pathnames getting truncated. Update it to use the strbuf API.
(merge 875b91b jm/maint-strncpy-diff-no-index later to maint).
* The parser in "fast-import" did not diagnose ":9" style references
that is not followed by required SP/LF as an error.
(merge 06454cb pw/fast-import-dataref-parsing later to maint).

* Giving "--continue" to a conflicted "rebase -i" session skipped a
commit that only results in changes to submodules.
(merge a6754cd jk/rebase-i-submodule-conflict-only later to maint).
* When PATH contains an unreadable directory, alias expansion code
did not kick in, and failed with an error that said "git-subcmd"
was not found.
(merge 38f865c jk/run-command-eacces later to maint).
* The 'push to upstream' implementation was broken in some corner
cases. "git push $there" without refspec, when the current branch
is set to push to a remote different from $there, used to push to
$there using the upstream information to a remote unreleated to
$there.
(merge 135dade jc/push-upstream-sanity later to maint).
* "git clean -d -f" (not "-d -f -f") is supposed to protect nested
working trees of independent git repositories that exist in the
current project working tree from getting removed, but the
protection applied only to such working trees that are at the
top-level of the current project by mistake.
(merge ae2f203 jc/maint-clean-nested-worktree-in-subdir later to maint).
* Rename detection logic used to match two empty files as renames
during merge-recursive, leading unnatural mismerges.
(merge 4f7cb99 jk/diff-no-rename-empty later to maint).
* An age-old corner case bug in combine diff (only triggered with -U0
and the hunk at the beginning of the file needs to be shown) has
been fixed.
(merge e5e9b56 rs/combine-diff-zero-context-at-the-beginning later to maint).
* When "git commit --template F" errors out because the user did not
touch the message, it claimed that it aborts due to "empty
message", which was utterly wrong.
(merge 1f08c2c jc/commit-unedited-template later to maint).
* "git add -p" is not designed to deal with unmerged paths but did
not exclude them and tried to apply funny patches only to fail.
(merge 4066bd6 jk/add-p-skip-conflicts later to maint).
* "git commit --author=$name" did not tell the name that was being
recorded in the resulting commit to hooks, even though it does do
so when the end user overrode the authorship via the
"GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" environment variable.
(merge 7dfe8ad jc/commit-hook-authorship later to maint).
* The regexp configured with diff.wordregex was incorrectly reused
across files.
(merge 6440d34 tr/maint-word-diff-regex-sticky later to maint).
* Running "notes merge --commit" failed to perform correctly when run
from any directory inside $GIT_DIR/. When "notes merge" stops with
conflicts, $GIT_DIR/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE is the place a user edits
to resolve it.
