We traditionally allowed a mbox file or a directory name of a maildir (but
never an individual file inside a maildir) to be given to "git am". Even
though an individual file in a maildir (or more generally, a piece of
RFC2822 e-mail) is not a mbox file, it contains enough information to
create a commit out of it, so there is no reason to reject one. Running
mailsplit on such a file feels stupid, but it does not hurt.
This builds on top of a5a6755 (git-am foreign patch support: introduce
patch_format, 2009-05-27) that introduced mailbox format detection. The
codepath to deal with a mbox requires it to begin with "From " line and
also allows it to begin with "From: ", but a random piece of e-mail can
and often do begin with any valid RFC2822 header lines.
Instead of checking the first line, we extract all the lines up to the
first empty line, and make sure they look like e-mail headers.
A test is added to t4150 to demonstrate this feature.

If we find no refs that may be used for git-describe with the current
options, then die early instead of pointlessly walking the whole
history.
In git.git with all the tags dropped, this makes "git describe" go down
from 0.244 to 0.003 seconds for me. This is especially noticeable with
"git submodule status" which calls describe with increasing levels of
allowed refs to be matched. For a submodule without tags, this means
that it walks the whole history in the submodule twice (first annotated,
then plain tags), just to find out that it can't describe the commit
anyway.

If one thinks of a revision as the set of commits which can be reached
from the rev, and of ^rev as the complement, then multiple arguments to
git rev-list can be neither understood as the intersection nor the union
of the individual sets.
But set language is the natural as well as logical language in which to
phrase this. So, add a paragraph which explains multiple arguments using
set language.

I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository. However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt. So unbounded caches are never a good idea.
A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.
While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation
entries a bit.

The current documentation states that servers typically listen on port
465 and calls this "ssmtp". While it's true that many mail servers use
port 465 for SSL smtp, this is non-standard, and hails from the days
before smtp and submission TLS support, that arrived in RFC2487 and
RFC3207. Port 465 is actually assigned by IANA for unrelated purposes,
and is mostly still used by mail servers today only to support Outlook
Express.
In any case, this patch helps the documentation better reflect both
standards and reality, while still helpfully mentioning ports numbers
that a user may wish to specify.

Configuration values are expected to be quoted when they have leading or
trailing whitespace, but inner whitespace should be kept verbatim even if
the value is not quoted. This is already documented in git-config(1), but
the code caused inner whitespace to be collapsed to a single space,
breaking, for example, clones from a path that has two consecutive spaces
in it, as future fetches would only see a single space.

When using git fast-export and git fast-import to rewrite the history
of a repository with large binary files, almost all of the time is
spent dealing with blobs. This is extremely inefficient if all we want
to do is rewrite the commits and tree structure. --no-data skips the
output of blobs and writes SHA-1s instead of marks, which provides a

When a branch moves A to B while the other branch created B (or moved C to
B), the code tried to rename one of them to B~something to preserve both
versions, and failed to register temporary resolution for the original
path B at stage#0 during virtual ancestor computation. This left the
index in unmerged state and caused a segfault.
A better solution is to merge these two versions of B's in place and use
the (potentially conflicting) result as the intermediate merge result in
the virtual ancestor.

longest_path_match() in symlinks.c does exactly what it's name says,
but in some cases that match can be too long, since the

is equal to the 'len' parameter.

This test creates two directories, a/b and a/b-2, then replaces a/b with
a symlink to a/b-2, then merges that change into the 'baseline' commit,
which contains an unrelated change.
There are two bugs:
1. 'git checkout' incorrectly deletes work tree file a/b-2/d.
2. 'git merge' incorrectly deletes work tree file a/b-2/d.
The test goes on to create another branch in which a/b-2 is replaced
with a symlink to a/b (i.e., the reverse of what was done the first
time), and merge it into the 'baseline' commit.
There is a different bug:
3. The merge should be clean, but git reports a conflict.
