* "git push" learned the "--prune" option, similar to "git fetch".

* "git tag --list" can be given "--points-at <object>" to limit its
output to those that point at the given object.

* Improved handling of views, labels and branches in git-p4 (in contrib).
releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
- * "git branch --with $that" assumed incorrectly that the user will never
- ask the question with nonsense value in $that.
- (merge 6c41e97 cn/maint-branch-with-bad later to maint).
-
- * An invalid regular expression pattern given by an end user made
- "gitweb" to return garbled response.
- (merge 36612e4 jn/maint-gitweb-invalid-regexp later to maint).
-
- * "git rev-list --verify-objects -q" omitted the extra verification
- it needs to do over "git rev-list --objects -q" by mistake.
- (merge 9899372 nd/maint-verify-objects later to maint).
-
- * The bulk check-in codepath streamed contents that needs
- smudge/clean filters without running them, instead of punting and
- delegating to the codepath to run filters after slurping everything
- to core.
- (merge 4f22b10 jk/maint-avoid-streaming-filtered-contents later to maint).
-
- * When the filter driver exits before reading the content before the
- main git process writes the contents to be filtered to the pipe to
- it, the latter could be killed with SIGPIPE instead of ignoring
- such an event as an error.
- (merge 6424c2a jb/filter-ignore-sigpipe later to maint).
-
- * When a remote helper exits before reading the blank line from the
- main git process to signal the end of commands, the latter could be
- killed with SIGPIPE. Instead we should ignore such event as a
- non-error.
- (merge c34fe63 sp/smart-http-failure-to-push later to maint).
-
- * "git bundle create" produced a corrupt bundle file upon seeing
- commits with excessively long subject line.
- (merge 8a557bb tr/maint-bundle-long-subject later to maint).
+ * The code to synthesize the fake ancestor tree used by 3-way merge
+ fallback in "git am" was not prepared to read a patch created with
+ a non-standard -p<num> value.
+ (merge a61ba26 jc/am-3-nonstandard-popt later to maint).
* "gitweb" used to drop warnings in the log file when "heads" view is
accessed in a repository whose HEAD does not point at a valid
