Various issues around "reflog expire", e.g. using --updateref when
expiring a reflog for a symbolic reference, have been corrected
and/or made saner.

reflog_expire(): never update a reference to null_sha1
reflog_expire(): ignore --updateref for symbolic references

struct ref_lock: delete the force_write member
lock_ref_sha1_basic(): do not set force_write for missing references

The prompt string "remove?" used when "git clean -i" asks the user
if a path should be removed was localizable, but the code always
expects a substring of "yes" to tell it to go ahead. Always show
[y/N] as part of this prompt to hint that the answer is not (yet)
localized.
* ja/clean-confirm-i18n:
Add hint interactive cleaning
"git diff --shortstat --dirstat=changes" showed a dirstat based on
lines that was never asked by the end user in addition to the
dirstat that the user asked for.
* mk/diff-shortstat-dirstat-fix:
diff --shortstat --dirstat: remove duplicate output
"git remote add" mentioned "--tags" and "--no-tags" and was not
clear that fetch from the remote in the future will use the default
behaviour when neither is given to override it.

git-remote.txt: describe behavior without --tags and --no-tags
Description given by "grep -h" for its --exclude-standard option

Even though we officially haven't dropped Perl 5.8 support, the
Getopt::Long package that came with it does not support "--no-"
prefix to negate a boolean option; manually add support to help
people with older Getopt::Long package.
* km/send-email-getopt-long-workarounds:
git-send-email.perl: support no- prefix with older GetOptions
"update-index --refresh" used to leak when an entry cannot be
refreshed for whatever reason.
* sb/plug-leak-in-make-cache-entry:
read-cache.c: free cache entry when refreshing fails
"git fast-import" used to crash when it could not close and
conclude the resulting packfile cleanly.
* jk/fast-import-die-nicely-fix:
fast-import: avoid running end_packfile recursively
In v2.2.0, we broke "git prune" that runs in a repository that
borrows from an alternate object store.
* jk/prune-mtime:
sha1_file: fix iterating loose alternate objects
for_each_loose_file_in_objdir: take an optional strbuf path
Certain older vintages of cURL give irregular output from
"curl-config --vernum", which confused our build system.
* tc/curl-vernum-output-broken-in-7.11:
Makefile: handle broken curl version number in version check
An earlier workaround to squelch unhelpful deprecation warnings
from the complier on Mac OSX unnecessarily set minimum required
version of the OS, which the user might want to raise (or lower)
for other reasons.
* es/squelch-openssl-warnings-on-macosx:
git-compat-util: do not step on MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED
Longstanding configuration variable naming rules has been added to
the documentation.
* jc/conf-var-doc:
CodingGuidelines: describe naming rules for configuration variables
config.txt: mark deprecated variables more prominently

Older GnuPG implementations may not correctly import the keyring
material we prepare for the tests to use.

t/lib-gpg: sanity-check that we can actually sign
t/lib-gpg: include separate public keys in keyring.gpg
Clarify in the documentation that "remote.<nick>.pushURL" and
"remote.<nick>.URL" are there to name the same repository accessed
via different transports, not two separate repositories.
* jc/remote-set-url-doc:
Documentation/git-remote.txt: stress that set-url is not for triangular
Reading configuration from a blob object, when it ends with a lone
CR, use to confuse the configuration parser.
* jk/config-no-ungetc-eof:

We didn't format an integer that wouldn't fit in "int" but in
"uintmax_t" correctly.

decimal_width: avoid integer overflow
"git push --signed" gave an incorrectly worded error message when
the other side did not support the capability.
* jc/push-cert:
transport-helper: fix typo in error message when --signed is not supported
"git fetch" over a remote-helper that cannot respond to "list"
command could not fetch from a symbolic reference e.g. HEAD.
* mh/deref-symref-over-helper-transport:
transport-helper: do not request symbolic refs to remote helpers
The insn sheet "git rebase -i" creates did not fully honor
core.abbrev settings.
* ks/rebase-i-abbrev:
rebase -i: use full object name internally throughout the script
The tests that wanted to see that file becomes unreadable after
running "chmod a-r file", and the tests that wanted to make sure it
is not run as root, we used "can we write into the / directory?" as
a cheap substitute, but on some platforms that is not a good
heuristics. The tests and their prerequisites have been updated to
check what they really require.
* jk/sanity:
test-lib.sh: set prerequisite SANITY by testing what we really need
tests: correct misuses of POSIXPERM
t/lib-httpd: switch SANITY check for NOT_ROOT

We did not parse username followed by literal IPv6 address in SSH
transport URLs, e.g. ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:22/repo.git
correctly.
