"git gc --aggressive" used to limit the delta-chain length to 250,
which is way too deep for gaining additional space savings and is
detrimental for runtime performance. The limit has been reduced to
50.
* jk/reduce-gc-aggressive-depth:
gc: default aggressive depth to 50
Even when "git pull --rebase=preserve" (and the underlying "git
rebase --preserve") can complete without creating any new commit
(i.e. fast-forwards), it still insisted on having a usable ident
information (read: user.email is set correctly), which was less
than nice. As the underlying commands used inside "git rebase"
would fail with a more meaningful error message and advice text
when the bogus ident matters, this extra check was removed.
* jk/rebase-i-drop-ident-check:
rebase-interactive: drop early check for valid ident
More i18n.

i18n: update-index: mark warnings for translation

"git format-patch --base=..." feature that was recently added
showed the base commit information after "-- " e-mail signature
line, which turned out to be inconvenient. The base information
has been moved above the signature line.
* jt/format-patch-base-info-above-sig:
format-patch: show base info before email signature
Performance tests done via "t/perf" did not use the same set of
build configuration if the user relied on autoconf generated
configuration.
* ks/perf-build-with-autoconf:
t/perf/run: copy config.mak.autogen & friends to build area
"git diff -W" output needs to extend the context backward to
include the header line of the current function and also forward to
include the body of the entire current function up to the header
line of the next one. This process may have to merge to adjacent
hunks, but the code forgot to do so in some cases.
* rs/xdiff-merge-overlapping-hunks-for-W-context:
xdiff: fix merging of hunks with -W context and -u context
There were numerous corner cases in which the configuration files
are read and used or not read at all depending on the directory a
Git command was run, leading to inconsistent behaviour. The code
to set-up repository access at the beginning of a Git process has
been updated to fix them.
* jk/setup-sequence-update:
t1007: factor out repeated setup
init: reset cached config when entering new repo
init: expand comments explaining config trickery
config: only read .git/config from configured repos
test-config: setup git directory
t1302: use "git -C"
pager: handle early config
pager: use callbacks instead of configset
pager: make pager_program a file-local static
pager: stop loading git_default_config()
pager: remove obsolete comment
diff: always try to set up the repository
diff: handle --no-index prefixes consistently
diff: skip implicit no-index check when given --no-index
patch-id: use RUN_SETUP_GENTLY
hash-object: always try to set up the git repository
The http transport (with curl-multi option, which is the default
these days) failed to remove curl-easy handle from a curlm session,
which led to unnecessary API failures.
* ew/http-do-not-forget-to-call-curl-multi-remove-handle:
http: always remove curl easy from curlm session on release
http: consolidate #ifdefs for curl_multi_remove_handle
http: warn on curl_multi_add_handle failures
Some codepaths in "git pack-objects" were not ready to use an
existing pack bitmap; now they are and as the result they have
become faster.
* ks/pack-objects-bitmap:
pack-objects: use reachability bitmap index when generating non-stdout pack
pack-objects: respect --local/--honor-pack-keep/--incremental when bitmap is in use
"git log --cherry-pick" used to include merge commits as candidates
to be matched up with other commits, resulting a lot of wasted time.
The patch-id generation logic has been updated to ignore merges to
avoid the wastage.
* jk/patch-ids-no-merges:
patch-ids: refuse to compute patch-id for merge commit
patch-ids: turn off rename detection
Recently we updated the code to manage the in-core cache that holds
objects that have recently been used to reconstitute other objects
that are stored as deltas against them, but the update used an
incorrect API function to manage the list of these objects. This
has been fixed.
* jk/delta-base-cache:
add_delta_base_cache: use list_for_each_safe
Even though "git hash-objects", which is a tool to take an
on-filesystem data stream and put it into the Git object store,
allowed to perform the "outside-world-to-Git" conversions (e.g.
end-of-line conversions and application of the clean-filter), and
it had the feature on by default from very early days, its reverse
operation "git cat-file", which takes an object from the Git object
store and externalize for the consumption by the outside world,
lacked an equivalent mechanism to run the "Git-to-outside-world"
conversion. The command learned the "--filters" option to do so.
* js/cat-file-filters:
cat-file: support --textconv/--filters in batch mode
cat-file --textconv/--filters: allow specifying the path separately
cat-file: introduce the --filters option
cat-file: fix a grammo in the man page
JGit can show a fake ref "capabilities^{}" to "git fetch" when it
does not advertise any refs, but "git fetch" was not prepared to
see such an advertisement. When the other side disconnects without
giving any ref advertisement, we used to say "there may not be a
repository at that URL", but we may have seen other advertisement
like "shallow" and ".have" in which case we definitely know that a
repository is there. The code to detect this case has also been
updated.
* jt/accept-capability-advertisement-when-fetching-from-void:
connect: advertized capability is not a ref
connect: tighten check for unexpected early hang up
tests: move test_lazy_prereq JGIT to test-lib.sh
Message cleanup.

Update a few tests that used to use GIT_CURL_VERBOSE to use the
newer GIT_TRACE_CURL.
* ep/use-git-trace-curl-in-tests:
t5551-http-fetch-smart.sh: use the GIT_TRACE_CURL environment var
t5550-http-fetch-dumb.sh: use the GIT_TRACE_CURL environment var
test-lib.sh: preserve GIT_TRACE_CURL from the environment
t5541-http-push-smart.sh: use the GIT_TRACE_CURL environment var
A test spawned a short-lived background process, which sometimes
prevented the test directory from getting removed at the end of the
script on some platforms.
* js/t6026-clean-up:
t6026-merge-attr: clean up background process at end of test case
"git symbolic-ref -d HEAD" happily removes the symbolic ref, but
the resulting repository becomes an invalid one. Teach the command
to forbid removal of HEAD.
* jc/forbid-symbolic-ref-d-HEAD:
symbolic-ref -d: do not allow removal of HEAD
Having a submodule whose ".git" repository is somehow corrupt
caused a few commands that recurse into submodules loop forever.
* jc/submodule-anchor-git-dir:
submodule: avoid auto-discovery in prepare_submodule_repo_env()
The test framework left the number of tests and success/failure
count in the t/test-results directory, keyed by the name of the
test script plus the process ID. The latter however turned out not
to serve any useful purpose. The process ID part of the filename
has been removed.
* jk/test-lib-drop-pid-from-results:
test-lib: drop PID from test-results/*.count
"diff-highlight" script (in contrib/) learned to work better with
"git log -p --graph" output.

documentation.

doc: show the actual left, right, and boundary marks
doc: revisions - name the left and right sides
doc: use 'symmetric difference' consistently
The "unsigned char sha1[20]" to "struct object_id" conversion
continues. Notable changes in this round includes that ce->sha1,
i.e. the object name recorded in the cache_entry, turns into an
object_id.
It had merge conflicts with a few topics in flight (Christian's
"apply.c split", Dscho's "cat-file --filters" and Jeff Hostetler's
"status --porcelain-v2"). Extra sets of eyes double-checking for
mismerges are highly appreciated.

"git commit-tree" stopped reading commit.gpgsign configuration
variable that was meant for Porcelain "git commit" in Git 2.9; we

this change.
