When using the --recurse-submodules flag with a relative pathspec which
includes "..", an error is produced inside the child process spawned for a
submodule. When creating the pathspec struct in the child, the ".." is
interpreted to mean "go up a directory" which causes an error stating that the
path ".." is outside of the repository.
While it is true that ".." is outside the scope of the submodule, it is
confusing to a user who originally invoked the command where ".." was indeed
still inside the scope of the superproject. Since the child process launched
for the submodule has some context that it is operating underneath a
superproject, this error could be avoided.
This patch fixes the bug by passing the 'prefix' to the child process. Now
each child process that works on a submodule has two points of reference to the
superproject: (1) the 'super_prefix' which is the path from the root of the
superproject down to root of the submodule and (2) the 'prefix' which is the
path from the root of the superproject down to the directory where the user
invoked the git command.
With these two pieces of information a child process can correctly interpret
the pathspecs provided by the user as well as being able to properly format its
output relative to the directory the user invoked the original command from.

In a future patch child processes which act on submodules need a little
more context about the original command that was invoked. This patch
teaches git to use the prefix stored in `GIT_INTERNAL_TOPLEVEL_PREFIX`
instead of the prefix that was potentally found during the git directory
setup process.

In commit 07e7dbf0d (gc: default aggressive depth to 50, 2016-08-11),
the default aggressive depth of git-gc has been changed to 50. While
git-config(1) has been updated to represent the new default value,
git-gc(1) still mentions the old value. This patch fixes it.

Within the help message of 'git add -i', the 'diff' command uses one
tab character and blanks to create the space between the name and the
description while the others use blanks only. So if the tab size is
not at 4 characters, this description will not be in range.
Replace the tab character with blanks.

The documentation for git blame used vertical bars for optional
arguments to -M and -C, which is unusual and potentially confusing.
Since most man pages use brackets for optional items, and that's
consistent with how we document the same options for git diff and
friends, use brackets here, too.

Not just . and .., but any path that begins with dot is not copied
when copying the template directory to a new repository. You can
customize the template directory, copying some dotfiles might make
sense, but it's actually a good thing not to, because you would not
want to have your git directory copied in every git directory that
is created should you decide to put your template directory under
version control, for example. Plus, it might be used as a feature
by people who would want to exclude some files.

"ls-files" run with pathspec has been micro-optimized to avoid
having to memmove(3) unnecessary bytes.
* rs/ls-files-partial-optim:
ls-files: move only kept cache entries in prune_cache()
ls-files: pass prefix length explicitly to prune_cache()
A new coccinelle rule that catches a check of !pointer before the
pointer is free(3)d, which most likely is a bug.
* rs/cocci-check-free-only-null:
cocci: detect useless free(3) calls
When "git p4" imports changelist that removes paths, it failed to
convert pathnames when the p4 used encoding different from the one
used on the Git side. This has been corrected.
* ls/p4-path-encoding:
git-p4: fix git-p4.pathEncoding for removed files
The current code wants to record an error condition from
either ferror() or fclose(), but makes sure that we always
call both functions. So it can't use logical-OR "||", which
would short-circuit when ferror() is true. Instead, it uses
bitwise-OR "|" to evaluate both functions and set one or
more bits in the "err" flag if they reported a failure.
Unlike logical-OR, though, bitwise-OR does not introduce a
sequence point, and the order of evaluation for its operands
is unspecified. So a compiler would be free to generate code
which calls fclose() first, and then ferror() on the
now-freed filehandle.
There's no indication that this has happened in practice,
but let's write it out in a way that follows the standard.

It is often useful to break a commit into multiple parts that are more
logical separations. This can be tricky to learn how to do without the
brute-force method if re-writing code or commit messages from scratch.
Add a section to the git-reset documentation which shows an example
process for how to use git add -p and git commit -c HEAD@{1} to
interactively break a commit apart and re-use the original commit
message as a starting point when making the new commit message.
