* "git stash" learned "--include-untracked" option to stash away
untracked/ignored cruft from the working tree.
* "git submodule update" learned to honor "none" as the value for
submodule.<name>.update to specify that the named submodule should
not be checked out by default.
* When populating a new submodule directory with "git submodule init",
the $GIT_DIR metainformation directory for submodules is created inside
$GIT_DIR/modules/<name>/ directory of the superproject and referenced
via the gitfile mechanism. This is to make it possible to switch
between commits in the superproject that has and does not have the
submodule in the tree without re-cloning.
* "mediawiki" remote helper can interact with (surprise!) MediaWiki
with "git fetch" & "git push".

Fixes since v1.7.7
------------------
Unless otherwise noted, all fixes in the 1.7.7.X maintenance track are
included in this release.
* We used to drop error messages from libcurl on certain kinds of
errors.
(merge be22d92eac8 jn/maint-http-error-message later to maint).
* Adding many refs to the local repository in one go (e.g. "git fetch"
that fetches many tags) and looking up a ref by name in a repository
with too many refs were unnecessarily slow.
(merge 17d68a54d jp/get-ref-dir-unsorted later to maint).
* "git remote rename $a $b" were not careful to match the remote name
against $a (i.e. source side of the remote nickname).
(merge b52d00aed mz/remote-rename later to maint).
* "git diff $tree $path" used to apply the pathspec at the output stage,
reading the whole tree, wasting resources.
(merge 2f88c1970 jc/diff-index-unpack later to maint).
* "git diff --[num]stat" used to use the number of lines of context
different from the default, potentially giving different results from
"git diff | diffstat" and confusing the users.
(merge f01cae918 jc/maint-diffstat-numstat-context later to maint).
* The code to check for updated submodules during a "git fetch" of the
superproject had an unnecessary quadratic loop.
(merge 6859de45 jk/maint-fetch-submodule-check-fix later to maint).

* "git merge" did not understand ":/<pattern>" as a way to name a commit.
* "git mergetool" learned to use its arguments as pathspec, not a path to
the file that may not even have any conflict.
(merge 6d9990a jm/mergetool-pathspec later to maint).
* Tests with --valgrind failed to find "mergetool" scriptlets.
