lacked an equivalent mechanism to run the "Git-to-outside-world"
conversion. The command learned the "--filters" option to do so.
* Output from "git diff" can be made easier to read by selecting
which lines are common and which lines are added/deleted
intelligently when the lines before and after the changed section
are the same. A command line option is added to help with the
experiment to find a good heuristics.
* In some projects, it is common to use "[RFC PATCH]" as the subject
prefix for a patch meant for discussion rather than application. A
new option "--rfc" was a short-hand for "--subject-prefix=RFC PATCH"
to help the participants of such projects.
* "git add --chmod=+x <pathspec>" added recently only toggled the
executable bit for paths that are either new or modified. This has
been corrected to flip the executable bit for all paths that match
the given pathspec.

* Documentation for individual configuration variables to control use
of color (like `color.grep`) said that their default value is
'false', instead of saying their default is taken from `color.ui`.
When we updated the default value for color.ui from 'false' to
'auto' quite a while ago, all of them broke. This has been
corrected.
(merge 14d16e2 mm/config-color-ui-default-to-auto later to maint).
* The pretty-format specifier "%C(auto)" used by the "log" family of
commands to enable coloring of the output is taught to also issue a
color-reset sequence to the output.
(merge c99ad27 rs/c-auto-resets-attributes later to maint).
* A shell script example in check-ref-format documentation has been
fixed.
(merge 92dece7 ep/doc-check-ref-format-example later to maint).
* "git checkout <word>" does not follow the usual disambiguation
rules when the <word> can be both a rev and a path, to allow
checking out a branch 'foo' in a project that happens to have a
file 'foo' in the working tree without having to disambiguate.
This was poorly documented and the check was incorrect when the
command was run from a subdirectory.
(merge b829b94 nd/checkout-disambiguation later to maint).
* Some codepaths in "git diff" used regexec(3) on a buffer that was
mmap(2)ed, which may not have a terminating NUL, leading to a read
beyond the end of the mapped region. This was fixed by introducing
a regexec_buf() helper that takes a <ptr,len> pair with REG_STARTEND
extension.
(merge b7d36ff js/regexec-buf later to maint).
* The procedure to build Git on Mac OS X for Travis CI hardcoded the
internal directory structure we assumed HomeBrew uses, which was a
no-no. The procedure has been updated to ask HomeBrew things we
need to know to fix this.
(merge f86f49b ls/travis-homebrew-path-fix later to maint).
* When "git rebase -i" is given a broken instruction, it told the
user to fix it with "--edit-todo", but didn't say what the step
after that was (i.e. "--continue").

* Documentation around tools to import from CVS was fairly outdated.
(merge 106b672 jk/doc-cvs-update later to maint).
* "git clone --recurse-submodules" lost the progress eye-candy in
recent update, which has been corrected.
* Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups.
