The behaviour visible to the end users was confusing, when they
attempt to kill a process spawned in the editor that was in turn
launched by Git with SIGINT (or SIGQUIT), as Git would catch that

launch_editor: propagate signals from editor to git

builtin/log.c: stop using global patch_suffix
builtin/log.c: drop redundant "numbered_files" parameter from make_cover_letter()

"git merge" started calling prepare-commit-msg hook like "git
commit" does some time ago, but forgot to pay attention to the exit
status of the hook.
* ap/merge-stop-at-prepare-commit-msg-failure:

* jc/submittingpatches:
SubmittingPatches: give list and maintainer addresses
SubmittingPatches: remove overlong checklist
SubmittingPatches: mention subsystems with dedicated repositories
SubmittingPatches: who am I and who cares?
"gitweb", when sorting by age to show repositories with new
activities first, used to sort repositories with absolutely nothing

When autoconf is used, any build on a different commit always ran
"config.status --recheck" even when unnecessary.
* jn/less-reconfigure:
build: do not automatically reconfigure unless configure.ac changed
When attempting to read the XDG-style $HOME/.config/git/config and
finding that $HOME/.config/git is a file, we gave a wrong error
message, instead of treating the case as "a custom config file does
not exist there" and moving on.
* jn/warn-on-inaccessible-loosen:
config: exit on error accessing any config file
doc: advertise GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM
config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors
config, gitignore: failure to access with ENOTDIR is ok
The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be
applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the
exclude mechanism does.
* ja/directory-attrs:
Add directory pattern matching to attributes
"git fetch --mirror" and fetch that uses other forms of refspec with
wildcard used to attempt to update a symbolic ref that match the
wildcard on the receiving end, which made little sense (the real ref
that is pointed at by the symbolic ref would be updated anyway).
Symbolic refs no longer are affected by such a fetch.
* jc/fetch-ignore-symref:
fetch: ignore wildcarded refspecs that update local symbolic refs
The way "git svn" asked for password using SSH_ASKPASS and
GIT_ASKPASS was not in line with the rest of the system.
* ss/svn-prompt:
git-svn, perl/Git.pm: extend and use Git->prompt method for querying users
perl/Git.pm: Honor SSH_ASKPASS as fallback if GIT_ASKPASS is not set
git-svn, perl/Git.pm: add central method for prompting passwords
Earlier, dc87183 (use GIT_CONFIG only in "git config", not other
programs, 2008-06-30) made sure that the environment variable is
never used outside "git config", but "git clone", after creating a
directory for the new repository and until the init_db() function
populates its .git/ directory, exported the variable for no good
reason. No hook will run from init_db() and more importantly no
hook can run until init_db() finishes creation of the new
repository, so it cannot be used by any invocation of "git config"
by definition.
Stop doing the useless export/unexport.

The git-completion.bash script did not implemented full, git aware,
support to complete paths, for git commands that operate on files within
the current working directory or the index.
As an example:
git add <TAB>
will suggest all files in the current working directory, including
ignored files and files that have not been modified.
Support path completion, for git commands where the non-option arguments
always refer to paths within the current working directory or the index,
as follows:
* the path completion for the "git rm" and "git ls-files"
commands will suggest all cached files.
* the path completion for the "git add" command will suggest all
untracked and modified files. Ignored files are excluded.
* the path completion for the "git clean" command will suggest all
untracked files. Ignored files are excluded.
* the path completion for the "git mv" command will suggest all cached
files when expanding the first argument, and all untracked and cached
files for subsequent arguments. In the latter case, empty directories
are included and ignored files are excluded.
* the path completion for the "git commit" command will suggest all
files that have been modified from the HEAD, if HEAD exists, otherwise
it will suggest all cached files.
For all affected commands, completion will always stop at directory
boundary. Only standard ignored files are excluded, using the
--exclude-standard option of the ls-files command.
When using a recent Bash version, Git path completion will be the same
as builtin file completion, e.g.
git add contrib/
will suggest relative file names.

--depth is explained as deepen, but the way it's applied, it can
shorten the history as well. Keen users may have noticed the
implication by the phrase "the specified number of commits from the
tip of each remote branch". Put "shorten" in the description to make
it clearer.

get_shallow_commits() is used to determine the cut points at a given
depth (i.e. the number of commits in a chain that the user likes to
get). However we count current depth up to the commit "commit" but we
do the cutting at its parents (i.e. current depth + 1). This makes
upload-pack always return one commit more than requested. This patch
fixes it.

The user can do --depth=2147483647 (*) for restoring complete repo
now. But it's hard to remember. Any other numbers larger than the
longest commit chain in the repository would also do, but some
guessing may be involved. Make easy-to-remember --unshallow an alias
for --depth=2147483647.
Make upload-pack recognize this special number as infinite depth. The
effect is essentially the same as before, except that upload-pack is
more efficient because it does not have to traverse to the bottom
anymore.
The chance of a user actually wanting exactly 2147483647 commits
depth, not infinite, on a repository with a history that long, is
probably too small to consider. The client can learn to add or
subtract one commit to avoid the special treatment when that actually
happens.
(*) This is the largest positive number a 32-bit signed integer can
contain. JGit and older C Git store depth as "int" so both are OK
with this number. Dulwich does not support shallow clone.

The --separate-git-dir option was introduced to make it simple to put
the git directory somewhere outside the worktree, for example when
cloning a repository for use as a submodule.
It was not intended for use when creating a bare repository. In that
case there is no worktree and it is more natural to directly clone the
repository and create a .git file as separate steps:
git clone --bare /path/to/repo.git bar.git
printf 'gitdir: bar.git\n' >foo.git
Forbid the combination, making the command easier to explain.

Rely on the upstream filetype.vim instead of duplicating its rules in
git's instructions for syntax highlighting support on pre-7.2 vim
versions.
The result is a shorter contrib/vim/README. More importantly, it lets
us punt on maintenance of the autocmd rules.
So now when we fix the upstream gitsendemail rule in light of commit
eed6ca7, new git users stuck on old vim reading contrib/vim/README can
automagically get the fix without any further changes needed to git.
Once the world has moved on to vim 7.2+ completely, we can get rid of
these instructions, but for now if they are this simple it's
effortless to keep them.

When make is run, the python scripts are created from *.py files that
are changed to use the python given by PYTHON_PATH. And PYTHON_PATH
is set by default to /usr/bin/python on Linux.
However, next time make is run with a different value in PYTHON_PATH,
we failed to regenerate these scripts.
