An explicit way to help the end users who connect to the service by
issuing custom messages to refuse such an access has been added.

+ * "git status" suggests users to look into using --untracked=no option
when it takes too long.
+ * "git status" shows a bit more information to "git status" during a

* "git fetch" learned to fetch a commit at the tip of an unadvertised
ref by specifying a raw object name from the command line when the
server side supports this feature.
* The new "--follow-tags" option tells "git push" to push relevant
annotated tags when pushing branches out.

hashtables they use upfront, but still started from a small table

* Annotated tags outside refs/tags/ hierarchy were not advertised
correctly to the ls-remote and fetch with recent version of Git.

* In "git reflog expire", REACHABLE bit was not cleared from the
correct objects.

* The logic used by "git diff -M --stat" to shorten the names of
files before and after a rename did not work correctly when the
common prefix and suffix between the two filenames overlapped.

CGit from sideways bypassing the entry points of the API the
in-tree users use.

* "git update-index -h" did not do the usual "-h(elp)" thing.
* "git index-pack" had a buffer-overflow while preparing an
informational message when the translated version of it was too
long.

* 'git commit -m "$msg"' used to add an extra newline even when
$msg already ended with one.
* The SSL peer verification done by "git imap-send" did not ask for
Server Name Indication (RFC 4366), failing to connect SSL/TLS
sites that serve multiple hostnames on a single IP.

* perl/Git.pm::cat_blob slurped everything in core only to write it
out to a file descriptor, which was not a very smart thing to do.

parameters and issue errors in many cases.

size of the file.

* "git am $maildir/" applied messages in an unexpected order; sort
filenames read from the maildir/ in a way that is more likely to
sort messages in the order the writing MUA meant to, by sorting
numeric segment in numeric order and non-numeric segment in
alphabetical order.
