UI, Workflows & Features
* Git can be told to normalize pathnames it read from readdir(3) and
all arguments it got from the command line into precomposed UTF-8
(assuming that they come as decomposed UTF-8), in order to work
around issues on Mac OS.
I think there still are other places that need conversion
(e.g. paths that are read from stdin for some commands), but this
should be a good first step in the right direction.
* Per-user $HOME/.gitconfig file can optionally be stored in
$HOME/.config/git/config instead, which is in line with XDG.

* "mediawiki" remote helper (in contrib/) learned to handle file
attachments.
* vcs-svn has been updated to clean-up compilation, lift 32-bit
limitations, etc.

* We no longer use AsciiDoc7 syntax in our documentation and favor a
more modern style.
* "git am --rebasing" codepath was taught to grab authorship, log
message and the patch text directly out of existing commits. This
will help rebasing commits that have confusing "diff" output in
their log messages.
* "git index-pack" and "git pack-objects" use streaming API to read
from the object store to avoid having to hold a large blob object
in-core while they are doing their thing.

releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
* "git show"'s auto-walking behaviour was an unreliable and
unpredictable hack; it now behaves just like "git log" does when it
walks.
(merge c5941f1 tr/maint-show-walk later to maint).
* "git diff", "git status" and anything that internally uses the
comparison machinery was utterly broken when the difference
involved a file with "-" as its name. This was due to the way "git
diff --no-index" was incorrectly bolted on to the system, making
any comparison that involves a file "-" at the root level
incorrectly read from the standard input.
(merge 4682d85 jc/refactor-diff-stdin later to maint).
* We did not have test to make sure "git rebase" without extra options
filters out an empty commit in the original history.
