`fnmatch(3)` is a great mention if the intended audience is
programmers. For normal users it's probably better to spell out what
a shell glob is.
This paragraph is updated to roughly tell (or remind) what the main
wildcards are supposed to do. All the details are still hidden away
behind the `fnmatch(3)` wall because bringing the whole specification
here may be too much.

A regression fix for 2.11 that made the code to read the list of
alternate object stores overrun the end of the string.
* jk/info-alternates-fix:
read_info_alternates: warn on non-trivial errors
read_info_alternates: read contents into strbuf
"git fetch <there> <src>:<dst>" allows an object name on the <src>
side when the other side accepts such a request since Git v2.5, but
the documentation was left stale.
* jc/fetch-refspec-doc-update:
fetch doc: src side of refspec could be full SHA-1
Many codepaths did not diagnose write failures correctly when disks
go full, due to their misuse of write_in_full() helper function,
which have been corrected.
* jk/write-in-full-fix:
read_pack_header: handle signed/unsigned comparison in read result
config: flip return value of store_write_*()
notes-merge: use ssize_t for write_in_full() return value
pkt-line: check write_in_full() errors against "< 0"
convert less-trivial versions of "write_in_full() != len"
avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" pattern
get-tar-commit-id: check write_in_full() return against 0
config: avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) < len" pattern
The scripts to drive TravisCI has been reorganized and then an
optimization to avoid spending cycles on a branch whose tip is
tagged has been implemented.
* ls/travis-scriptify:
travis-ci: fix "skip_branch_tip_with_tag()" string comparison
travis: dedent a few scripts that are indented overly deeply
travis-ci: skip a branch build if equal tag is present
travis-ci: move Travis CI code into dedicated scripts
The checkpoint command "git fast-import" did not flush updates to
refs and marks unless at least one object was created since the
last checkpoint, which has been corrected, as these things can
happen without any new object getting created.
* er/fast-import-dump-refs-on-checkpoint:
fast-import: checkpoint: dump branches/tags/marks even if object_count==0
"git fast-export" with -M/-C option issued "copy" instruction on a
path that is simultaneously modified, which was incorrect.
* jt/fast-export-copy-modify-fix:
fast-export: do not copy from modified file
"git branch -M a b" while on a branch that is completely unrelated
to either branch a or branch b misbehaved when multiple worktree
was in use. This has been fixed.
* nd/worktree-kill-parse-ref:
branch: fix branch renaming not updating HEADs correctly
This is the "theoretically more correct" approach of simply
stepping back to the state before plumbing commands started paying
attention to "color.ui" configuration variable.
* jk/ref-filter-colors-fix:
tag: respect color.ui config
Revert "color: check color.ui in git_default_config()"
Revert "t6006: drop "always" color config tests"
Revert "color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config"
color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config
provide --color option for all ref-filter users
t3205: use --color instead of color.branch=always
t3203: drop "always" color test
t6006: drop "always" color config tests
t7502: use diff.noprefix for --verbose test
t7508: use test_terminal for color output
t3701: use test-terminal to collect color output
t4015: prefer --color to -c color.diff=always
test-terminal: set TERM=vt100
Improve behaviour of "git fsck" upon finding a missing object.
* rs/fsck-null-return-from-lookup:
fsck: handle NULL return of lookup_blob() and lookup_tree()
Code clean-up.
* jk/validate-headref-fix:
validate_headref: use get_oid_hex for detached HEADs
validate_headref: use skip_prefix for symref parsing
validate_headref: NUL-terminate HEAD buffer
Doc update.
* kd/doc-for-each-ref:
doc/for-each-ref: explicitly specify option names
doc/for-each-ref: consistently use '=' to between argument names and values
Finishing touches to a topic already in 'master'.
* cc/subprocess-handshake-missing-capabilities:
subprocess: loudly die when subprocess asks for an unsupported capability
In the "--format=..." option of the "git for-each-ref" command (and
its friends, i.e. the listing mode of "git branch/tag"), "%(atom:)"
(e.g. "%(refname:)", "%(body:)" used to error out. Instead, treat
them as if the colon and an empty string that follows it were not
there.
* tb/ref-filter-empty-modifier:
ref-filter.c: pass empty-string as NULL to atom parsers
Backports a moral equivalent of 2015 fix to the poll emulation from
the upstream gnulib to fix occasional breakages on HPE NonStop.
* rb/compat-poll-fix:
poll.c: always set revents, even if to zero
Fixes for a handful memory access issues identified by valgrind.
* tg/memfixes:
sub-process: use child_process.args instead of child_process.argv
http-push: fix construction of hex value from path
path.c: fix uninitialized memory access
Spell the name of our system as "Git" in the output from
request-pull script.
* ar/request-pull-phrasofix:
request-pull: capitalise "Git" to make it a proper noun
The documentation for '-X<option>' for merges was misleadingly
written to suggest that "-s theirs" exists, which is not the case.
* jc/merge-x-theirs-docfix:
merge-strategies: avoid implying that "-s theirs" exists
"git mailinfo" was loose in decoding quoted printable and produced
garbage when the two letters after the equal sign are not
hexadecimal. This has been fixed.
* rs/mailinfo-qp-decode-fix:
mailinfo: don't decode invalid =XY quoted-printable sequences
The built-in pattern to detect the "function header" for HTML did
not match <H1>..<H6> elements without any attributes, which has
been fixed.
* ik/userdiff-html-h-element-fix:
userdiff: fix HTML hunk header regexp
"git describe --match" learned to take multiple patterns in v2.13
series, but the feature ignored the patterns after the first one
and did not work at all. This has been fixed.
* jk/describe-omit-some-refs:
describe: fix matching to actually match all patterns
