Format-patch generates emails with the "From" address set to the
author of each patch. If you are going to send the emails, however,
you would want to replace the author identity with yours (if they
are not the same), and bump the author identity to an in-body
header.
Normally this is handled by git-send-email, which does the
transformation before sending out the emails. However, some
workflows may not use send-email (e.g., imap-send, or a custom
script which feeds the mbox to a non-git MUA). They could each
implement this feature themselves, but getting it right is
non-trivial (one must canonicalize the identities by reversing any
RFC2047 encoding or RFC822 quoting of the headers, which has caused
many bugs in send-email over the years).
This patch takes a different approach: it teaches format-patch a
"--from" option which handles the ident check and in-body header
while it is writing out the email. It's much simpler to do at this
level (because we haven't done any quoting yet), and any workflow
based on format-patch can easily turn it on.

In the current code, callers are expected to fill in the
pretty_print_context, and then the pretty.c functions simply
read from it. This leaves no room for the pretty.c functions
to communicate with each other by manipulating the context
(e.g., data seen while printing the header may impact how we
print the body).
Rather than introduce a new struct to hold modifiable data,
let's just drop the const-ness of the existing context
struct.

The original way to specify remote repository using .git/branches/
used to have a nifty feature. The code to support the feature was
still in a function but the caller was changed not to call it 5
years ago, breaking that feature and leaving the supporting code
unreachable.

Having multiple "fixup!" on a line in the rebase instruction sheet
did not work very well with "git rebase -i --autosquash".

rebase -i: handle fixup! fixup! in --autosquash

Documentation: Update the NFS remote examples to use the staging repo
doc/clone: Pick more compelling paths for the --reference example
doc/clone: Remove the '--bare -l -s' example
"git log" learned the "--author-date-order" option, with which the
output is topologically sorted and commits in parallel histories
are shown intermixed together based on the author timestamp.
* jc/topo-author-date-sort:
t6003: add --author-date-order test
topology tests: teach a helper to set author dates as well
t6003: add --date-order test

"git pack-refs" that races with new ref creation or deletion have
been susceptible to lossage of refs under right conditions, which
has been tightened up.
* mh/ref-races:
for_each_ref: load all loose refs before packed refs
get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it changes
add a stat_validity struct
Extract a struct stat_data from cache_entry
packed_ref_cache: increment refcount when locked

refs: manage lifetime of packed refs cache via reference counting
refs: implement simple transactions for the packed-refs file
refs: wrap the packed refs cache in a level of indirection
pack_refs(): split creation of packed refs and entry writing
repack_without_ref(): split list curation and entry writing
"git diff" learned a mode that ignores hunks whose change consists
only of additions and removals of blank lines, which is the same as
"diff -B" (ignore blank lines) of GNU diff.
* ap/diff-ignore-blank-lines:
diff: add --ignore-blank-lines option
We read loose and packed rerferences in two steps, but after
deciding to read a loose ref but before actually opening it to read
it, another process racing with us can unlink it, which would cause
us to barf. Update the codepath to retry when such a race is
detected.
* mh/loose-refs-race-with-pack-ref:
resolve_ref_unsafe(): close race condition reading loose refs
resolve_ref_unsafe(): handle the case of an SHA-1 within loop
resolve_ref_unsafe(): extract function handle_missing_loose_ref()
"git name-rev --refs=tags/v*" were forbidden, which was a bit
inconvenient (you had to give a pattern to match refs fully, like
--refs=refs/tags/v*).
* nk/name-rev-abbreviated-refs:
name-rev: allow to specify a subpath for --refs option
Allow various subcommands of "git submodule" to be run not from the
top of the working tree of the superproject.

Mac OS X does not like to write(2) more than INT_MAX number of
bytes; work it around by chopping write(2) into smaller pieces.
* fc/macos-x-clipped-write:
compate/clipped-write.c: large write(2) fails on Mac OS X/XNU
Newer MacOS X encourages the programs to compile and link with their

Cloning with "git clone --depth N" while fetch.fsckobjects (or
transfer.fsckobjects) is set to true did not tell the cut-off points
of the shallow history to the process that validates the objects and
the history received, causing the validation to fail.
