but caused renaming of the current branch to something else not to
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
+ ignore anything after '>' when picking addresses, to allow non-address
+ cruft like " # stable 4.4" after the address.

+ * 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.
+ (merge d1b3b81aab sb/submodule-init-url-selection later to maint).

+ * "git stash save" takes a pathspec so that the local changes can be
+ stashed away only partially.

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* 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.
+ (merge ad8c7cdadd jk/parse-config-key-cleanup later to maint).
+
+ * 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).

+ been fixed.
