be logged in a useful way.
+ * "Cc:" on the trailer part does not have to conform to RFC strictly,
+ unlike in the e-mail header. "git send-email" has been updated to

+ cruft like " # stable 4.4" after the address.
+ (merge 9d3343961b jh/send-email-one-cc later to maint).

+ * When "git submodule init" decides that the submodule in the working
+ tree is its upstream, it now gives a warning as it is not a very
+ common setup.

+ stashed away only partially.

+ * Documentation for "git ls-files" did not refer to core.quotePath.

* Some warning() messages from "git clean" were updated to show the
errno from failed system calls.
+ * The "parse_config_key()" API function has been cleaned up.

+
+ * A test that creates a confusing branch whose name is HEAD has been
+ corrected not to do so.
+ (merge f0252ca23c jk/t6300-cleanup later to maint).
+
+ * The code that parses header fields in the commit object has been
+ updated for (micro)performance and code hygiene.
+ (merge b072504ce1 rs/commit-parsing-optim later to maint).
+
+ * An helper function to make it easier to append the result from
+ real_path() to a strbuf has been added.
+ (merge 33ad9ddd0b rs/strbuf-add-real-path later to maint).
+
+ * Reduce authentication round-trip over HTTP when the server supports
+ just a single authentication method. This also improves the
+ behaviour when Git is misconfigured to enable http.emptyAuth
+ against a server that does not authenticate without a username
+ (i.e. not using Kerberos etc., which makes http.emptyAuth
+ pointless).
+ (merge 40a18fc77c jk/http-auth later to maint).

+ * Windows port wants to use OpenSSL's implementation of SHA-1
+ routines, so let them.
+ (merge 2cfc70f0de jh/mingw-openssl-sha1 later to maint).
+
+ * The t/perf performance test suite was not prepared to test not so
+ old versions of Git, but now it covers versions of Git that are not
+ so ancient.
+ (merge 28e1fb5466 jt/perf-updates later to maint).
+
+ * Add 32-bit Linux variant to the set of platforms to be tested with
+ Travis CI.
+ (merge 88dedd5e72 js/travis-32bit-linux later to maint).
+
+ * "git branch --list" takes the "--abbrev" and "--no-abbrev" options
+ to control the output of the object name in its "-v"(erbose)
+ output, but a recent update started ignoring them; fix it before
+ the breakage reaches to any released version.

Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
default) by ignoring a stale "gc.log" file that is too old.
(merge a831c06a2b dt/gc-ignore-old-gc-logs later to maint).

+ variable for the duration of cmd had two small bugs, which have
+ been fixed.
+ (merge 1274a155af jc/config-case-cmdline-take-2 later to maint).

+ error out, but didn't.

+
+ * "git upload-pack", which is a counter-part of "git fetch", did not
+ report a request for a ref that was not advertised as invalid.
+ This is generally not a problem (because "git fetch" will stop
+ before making such a request), but is the right thing to do.
+ (merge bdb31eada7 jt/upload-pack-error-report later to maint).
+
+ * A leak in a codepath to read from a packed object in (rare) cases
+ has been plugged.
+ (merge 886ddf4777 rs/sha1-file-plug-fallback-base-leak later to maint).
+
+ * When a redirected http transport gets an error during the
+ redirected request, we ignored the error we got from the server,
+ and ended up giving a not-so-useful error message.
+ (merge 8e27391a5f jt/http-base-url-update-upon-redirect later to maint).
+
+ * The patch subcommand of "git add -i" was meant to have paths
+ selection prompt just like other subcommand, unlike "git add -p"
+ directly jumps to hunk selection. Recently, this was broken and
+ "add -i" lost the paths selection dialog, but it now has been
+ fixed.
+ (merge c852bd54bd jk/add-i-patch-do-prompt later to maint).
+
+ * Git v2.12 was shipped with an embarrassing breakage where various
+ operations that verify paths given from the user stopped dying when
+ seeing an issue, and instead later triggering segfault.
+ (merge ce83eadd9a js/realpath-pathdup-fix later to maint).

+ * There is no need for Python only to give a few messages to the
+ standard error stream, but we somehow did.
+ (merge b8686c661d ss/remote-bzr-hg-placeholder-wo-python later to maint).
+
+ * The code to parse "git log -L..." command line was buggy when there
+ are many ranges specified with -L; overrun of the allocated buffer
+ has been fixed.
+ (merge aaae0bf787 ax/line-log-range-merge-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The command-line parsing of "git log -L" copied internal data
+ structures using incorrect size on ILP32 systems.
+ (merge 07f546cda5 vn/line-log-memcpy-size-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git diff --quiet" relies on the size field in diff_filespec to be
+ correctly populated, but diff_populate_filespec() helper function
+ made an incorrect short-cut when asked only to populate the size
+ field for paths that need to go through convert_to_git() (e.g. CRLF
+ conversion).
+ (merge 12426e114b jc/diff-populate-filespec-size-only-fix later to maint).
+
+ * A few tests were run conditionally under (rare) conditions where
+ they cannot be run (like running cvs tests under 'root' account).
+ (merge c6507484a2 ab/cond-skip-tests later to maint).
+
+ * "git branch @" created refs/heads/@ as a branch, and in general the
+ code that handled @{-1} and @{upstream} was a bit too loose in
+ disambiguating.
+ (merge fd4692ff70 jk/interpret-branch-name later to maint).
+
+ * "git fetch" that requests a commit by object name, when the other
+ side does not allow such an request, failed without much
+ explanation.
+ (merge d56583ded6 mm/fetch-show-error-message-on-unadvertised-object later to maint).

+ * "git filter-branch --prune-empty" drops a single-parent commit that
+ becomes a no-op, but did not drop a root commit whose tree is empty.
+ (merge 32da7467eb dp/filter-branch-prune-empty later to maint).
+
+ * Recent versions of Git treats http alternates (used in dumb http
+ transport) just like HTTP redirects and requires the client to
+ enable following it, due to security concerns. But we forgot to
+ give a warning when we decide not to honor the alternates.
+ (merge 5cae73d5d2 ew/http-alternates-as-redirects-warning later to maint).
+
+ * "git push" had a handful of codepaths that could lead to a deadlock
+ when unexpected error happened, which has been fixed.
+ (merge d1a13d3fcb jk/push-deadlock-regression-fix later to maint).

* Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups.
