Recent patches have expanded on the trailers.c code and we have the
builtin commant git-interpret-trailers which can be used to add or
modify trailer lines. However, there is no easy way to simply display
the trailers of a commit message.
Add support for %(trailers) format modifier which will use the
trailer_info_get() calls to read trailers in an identical way as git
interpret-trailers does. Use a long format option instead of a short
name so that future work can more easily unify ref-filter and pretty
formats.
Add documentation and tests for the same.

There are occasions when you decide to abort an in-progress rebase and
move on to do something else but you forget to do "git rebase --abort"
first. Or the rebase has been in progress for so long you forgot about
it. By the time you realize that (e.g. by starting another rebase)
it's already too late to retrace your steps. The solution is normally
rm -r .git/<some rebase dir>
and continue with your life. But there could be two different
directories for <some rebase dir> (and it obviously requires some
knowledge of how rebase works), and the ".git" part could be much
longer if you are not at top-dir, or in a linked worktree. And
"rm -r" is very dangerous to do in .git, a mistake in there could
destroy object database or other important data.
Provide "git rebase --quit" for this use case, mimicking a precedent
that is "git cherry-pick --quit".

What was intended was perhaps "... plumbing does for you" ("you" added), but
simply omitting the word "for" is more terse and gets the intended point across
just as well, if not more so.
I originally went with the approach of writing "for you", but Junio C
Hamano suggested this approach instead.

By adding the word "just", which might have been accidentally omitted.
Adding the word "just" makes it clear that the point is to *not* do an
octopus merge simply because you *can* do it. In other words, you
should have a reason for doing it beyond simply having two (seemingly)
independent commits that you need to merge into another branch, since
it's not always the best approach.
The previous sentence made it look more like it was trying to say that
you shouldn't do an octopus merge *because* you can do an octopus merge.
Although this interpretation doesn't make sense and the rest of the
paragraph makes the intended meaning clear, this adjustment should make
the intent of the sentence more immediately clear to the reader.

We instruct curl to always follow HTTP redirects. This is
convenient, but it creates opportunities for malicious
servers to create confusing situations. For instance,
imagine Alice is a git user with access to a private
repository on Bob's server. Mallory runs her own server and
wants to access objects from Bob's repository.
Mallory may try a few tricks that involve asking Alice to
clone from her, build on top, and then push the result:
1. Mallory may simply redirect all fetch requests to Bob's
server. Git will transparently follow those redirects
and fetch Bob's history, which Alice may believe she
got from Mallory. The subsequent push seems like it is
just feeding Mallory back her own objects, but is
actually leaking Bob's objects. There is nothing in
git's output to indicate that Bob's repository was
involved at all.
The downside (for Mallory) of this attack is that Alice
will have received Bob's entire repository, and is
likely to notice that when building on top of it.
2. If Mallory happens to know the sha1 of some object X in
Bob's repository, she can instead build her own history
that references that object. She then runs a dumb http
server, and Alice's client will fetch each object
individually. When it asks for X, Mallory redirects her
to Bob's server. The end result is that Alice obtains
objects from Bob, but they may be buried deep in
history. Alice is less likely to notice.
Both of these attacks are fairly hard to pull off. There's a
social component in getting Mallory to convince Alice to
work with her. Alice may be prompted for credentials in
accessing Bob's repository (but not always, if she is using
a credential helper that caches). Attack (1) requires a
certain amount of obliviousness on Alice's part while making
a new commit. Attack (2) requires that Mallory knows a sha1
in Bob's repository, that Bob's server supports dumb http,
and that the object in question is loose on Bob's server.
But we can probably make things a bit more obvious without
any loss of functionality. This patch does two things to
that end.
First, when we encounter a whole-repo redirect during the
initial ref discovery, we now inform the user on stderr,
making attack (1) much more obvious.
Second, the decision to follow redirects is now
configurable. The truly paranoid can set the new
http.followRedirects to false to avoid any redirection
entirely. But for a more practical default, we will disallow
redirects only after the initial ref discovery. This is
enough to thwart attacks similar to (2), while still
allowing the common use of redirects at the repository
level. Since c93c92f30 (http: update base URLs when we see
redirects, 2013-09-28) we re-root all further requests from
the redirect destination, which should generally mean that
no further redirection is necessary.
As an escape hatch, in case there really is a server that
needs to redirect individual requests, the user can set
http.followRedirects to "true" (and this can be done on a
per-server basis via http.*.followRedirects config).

This options makes sorting ignore case, which is great when you have
branches named bug-12-do-something, Bug-12-do-some-more and
BUG-12-do-what and want to group them together. Sorting externally may
not be an option because we lose coloring and column layout from
git-branch and git-tag.
The same could be said for filtering, but it's probably less important
because you can always go with the ugly pattern [bB][uU][gG]-* if you're
desperate.
You can't have case-sensitive filtering and case-insensitive sorting (or
the other way around) with this though. For branch and tag, that should
be no problem. for-each-ref, as a plumbing, might want finer control.
But we can always add --{filter,sort}-ignore-case when there is a need
for it.

these issues by using a retry flag supported by all p4 commands [1].
Add an integer Git config value `git-p4.retries` to define the number of
retries for all p4 invocations. If the config is not defined then set
the default retry count to 3.

least one Git-generated or user-configured trailer, and consists of at
least 25% trailers. The documentation was updated to mention this new
functionality, but did not mention "user-configured trailer".
Further update the documentation to also mention "user-configured
