* git-p4 (in contrib/) updates.
* i18n effort is going forward and Git uses localized messages if
available.
* Porcelain commands like "git reset" did not distinguish deletions
and type-changes from ordinary modification, and reported them with
the same 'M' moniker. They now use 'D' (for deletion) and 'T' (for
type-change) to match "git status -s" and "git diff --name-status".
* The code to handle username/password for HTTP transaction used in
"git push" & "git fetch" learned to talk "credential API" to
external programs to cache or store them, to allow integration with
platform native keychain mechanisms.
* "git commit" and "git reset" re-learned the optimization to prime
the cache-tree information in the index, which makes it faster to
write a tree object out after the index entries are updated.
* "git add" learned to stream large files directly into a packfile
instead of writing them into individual loose object files.

* The replacement implemention for snprintf used on platforms with
native snprintf that is broken did not use va_copy correctly.
(merge a9bfbc5 jk/maint-snprintf-va-copy later to maint).
* LF-to-CRLF streaming filter used when checking out a large-ish blob
fell into an infinite loop with a rare input.
(merge 284e3d2 cn/maint-lf-to-crlf-filter later to maint).
* git native connection going over TCP (not over SSH) did not set
SO_KEEPALIVE option which failed to receive link layer errors.
(merge e47a858 ew/keepalive later to maint).
* "git archive" mistakenly allowed remote clients to ask for commits
that are not at the tip of any ref.

* "git checkout -m" did not recreate the conflicted state in a "both
sides added, without any common ancestor version" conflict
situation.
(merge 335c6e4 jc/checkout-m-twoway later to maint).
* "git cherry-pick $commit" (not a range) created an unnecessary
sequencer state and interfered with valid workflow to use the
command during a session to cherry-pick multiple commits.
(merge d596118 jn/maint-sequencer-fixes later to maint).
* The error message from "git diff" and "git status" when they fail
to inspect changes in submodules did not report which submodule they
had trouble with.

* "fast-import" did not correctly update an existing notes tree,
possibly corrupting the fan-out.
* "git fetch-pack" accepted unqualified refs that do not begin with
refs/ by mistake and compensated it by matching the refspec with
tail-match, which was doubly wrong. This broke fetching from a
repository with a funny named ref "refs/foo/refs/heads/master" and a
'master' branch with "git fetch-pack refs/heads/master", as the
command incorrectly considered the former a "match".
(merge bab8d28 jk/fetch-no-tail-match-refs later to maint).
* "git mv" gave suboptimal error/warning messages when it overwrites
target files. It also did not pay attention to "-v" option.
(merge 534376c jk/maint-mv later to maint).
* When a "reword" action in "git rebase -i" failed to run "commit --amend",
we did not give the control back to the user to resolve the situation, and
instead kept the original commit log message.
(merge 0becb3e aw/rebase-i-stop-on-failure-to-amend later to maint).
* Authenticated "git push" over dumb HTTP were broken with a recent
change and failed without asking for password when username is
given.
