* The "fast hash" that had disastrous performance issues in some
corner cases has been retired from the internal diff.
* The character width table has been updated to match Unicode 9.0
(merge 9e6e9aefdf bb/unicode-9.0 later to maint).

* An empty directory in a working tree that can simply be nuked used
to interfere while merging or cherry-picking a change to create a
submodule directory there, which has been fixed..
(merge 5423d2e700 dt/empty-submodule-in-merge later to maint).
* The code in "git push" to compute if any commit being pushed in the
superproject binds a commit in a submodule that hasn't been pushed
out was overly inefficient, making it unusable even for a small
project that does not have any submodule but have a reasonable
number of refs.
(merge 250ab24ab3 hv/submodule-not-yet-pushed-fix later to maint).
* "git push --dry-run --recurse-submodule=on-demand" wasn't
"--dry-run" in the submodules.

* The output from "git worktree list" was made in readdir() order,
and was unstable.

* mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode configuration variable did not apply
to built-in tools, but now it does.

* "git p4" LFS support was broken when LFS stores an empty blob.

* A corner case in merge-recursive regression that crept in
during 2.10 development cycle has been fixed.
(merge 1c25d2d8ed jc/renormalize-merge-kill-safer-crlf later to maint).
* Transport with dumb http can be fooled into following foreign URLs
that the end user does not intend to, especially with the server
side redirects and http-alternates mechanism, which can lead to
security issues. Tighten the redirection and make it more obvious
to the end user when it happens.
(merge cb4d2d35c4 jk/http-walker-limit-redirect-2.9 later to maint).
* Update the error messages from the dumb-http client when it fails
to obtain loose objects; we used to give sensible error message
only upon 404 but we now forbid unexpected redirects that needs to
be reported with something sensible.
(merge 3680f16f9d jk/http-walker-limit-redirect later to maint).
* When diff.renames configuration is on (and with Git 2.9 and later,
it is enabled by default, which made it worse), "git stash"
misbehaved if a file is removed and another file with a very
similar content is added.
(merge 9d4e28ead5 jk/stash-disable-renames-internally later to maint).
* "git diff --no-index" did not take "--no-abbrev" option.

* "git difftool --dir-diff" had a minor regression when started from
a subdirectory, which has been fixed.

* "git commit --allow-empty --only" (no pathspec) with dirty index

change any paths, but it was forbidden, perhaps because nobody
needed it so far.

* A pathname that begins with "//" or "\\" on Windows is special but
path normalization logic was unaware of it.

* "git pull --rebase", when there is no new commits on our side since
we forked from the upstream, should be able to fast-forward without
invoking "git rebase", but it didn't.
(merge 33b842a1e9 jc/pull-rebase-ff later to maint).
* The way to specify hotkeys to "xxdiff" that is used by "git
mergetool" has been modernized to match recent versions of xxdiff.
(merge 6cf5f6cef7 da/mergetool-xxdiff-hotkey later to maint).
* Unlike "git am --abort", "git cherry-pick --abort" moved HEAD back
to where cherry-pick started while picking multiple changes, when
the cherry-pick stopped to ask for help from the user, and the user
did "git reset --hard" to a different commit in order to re-attempt
the operation.

* The function usage_msg_opt() has been updated to say "fatal:"
before the custom message programs give, when they want to die
with a message about wrong command line options followed by the
standard usage string.
(merge 87433261a4 jk/parseopt-usage-msg-opt later to maint).
* "git index-pack --stdin" needs an access to an existing repository,

* A lazy "git push" without refspec did not internally use a fully

* Even though an fix was attempted in Git 2.9.3 days, but running
"git difftool --dir-diff" from a subdirectory never worked. This
has been fixed.
(merge ce6926974e jk/difftool-in-subdir later to maint).
* "git p4" that tracks multile p4 paths imported a single changelist
that touches files in these multiple paths as one commit, followed
by many empty commits. This has been fixed.
