UI, Workflows & Features
* Per-user $HOME/.gitconfig file can optionally be stored in
$HOME/.config/git/config instead, which is in line with XDG.
* The value of core.attributesfile and core.excludesfile default to
$HOME/.config/attributes and $HOME/.config/ignore respectively when
these files exist.
* Scripted Porcelain writers now have access to the credential API via
the "git credential" plumbing command.
* "git help" used to always default to "man" format even on platforms
where "man" viewer is not widely available.

* "git help -w $cmd" can show HTML version of documentation for
"git-$cmd" by setting help.htmlpath to somewhere other than the
default location where the build procedure installs them locally;
the variable can even point at a http:// URL.
* "git rebase -i" learned "-x <cmd>" to insert "exec <cmd>" after
each commit in the resulting history.

details).
* We did not have test to make sure "git rebase" without extra options
filters out an empty commit in the original history.
(merge 2b5ba7b mz/empty-rebase-test later to maint).
* "git fast-export" produced an input stream for fast-import without
properly quoting pathnames when they contain SPs in them.

* "git checkout --detach", when you are still on an unborn branch,
should be forbidden, but it wasn't.

* Some implementations of Perl terminates "lines" with CRLF even when
the script is operating on just a sequence of bytes. Make sure to
use "$PERL_PATH", the version of Perl the user told Git to use, in
our tests to avoid unnecessary breakages in tests.

* "git blame" did not try to make sure that the abbreviated commit
object names in its output are unique.

* On Cygwin, the platform pread(2) is not thread safe, just like our
own compat/ emulation, and cannot be used in the index-pack
program. Makefile variable NO_THREAD_SAFE_PREAD can be defined to
avoid use of this function in a threaded program.

* "git clone --single-branch" to clone a single branch did not limit
the cloning to the specified branch.
