* "git log" learned -P as a synonym for --perl-regexp, "git grep"
already had such a synonym.

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* The default packed-git limit value has been raised on larger
behaviour of the comparison function can be specified at the time a
hashmap is initialized.
+ * The "collision detecting" SHA-1 implementation shipped with 2.13 is
+ now integrated into git.git as a submodule (the first submodule to
+ ship with git.git). Clone git.git with --recurse-submodules to get
+ it. For now a non-submodule copy of the same code is also shipped
+ as part of the tree.

+ * A recent update made it easier to use "-fsanitize=" option while
+ compiling but supported only one sanitize option. Allow more than
+ one to be combined, joined with a comma, like "make SANITIZE=foo,bar".

+ * Use "p4 -G" to make "p4 changes" output more Python-friendly
+ to parse.
+
+ * We started using "%" PRItime, imitating "%" PRIuMAX and friends, as
+ a way to format the internal timestamp value, but this does not
+ play well with gettext(1) i18n framework, and causes "make pot"

* Code clean-up to fix possible buffer over-reading.
- (merge 2d105451c0 rs/apply-avoid-over-reading later to maint).
* A few tests that tried to verify the contents of push certificates
did not use 'git rev-parse' to formulate the line to look for in
the certificate correctly.
* Update the character width tables.

code to walk the reflog of HEAD via "log -g" and friends
* The build procedure has been improved to allow building and testing
Git with address sanitizer more easily.

* On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository"
ought to mean a repository on a network share that can be accessed
locally, but this did not work correctly due to stripping the double
slashes at the beginning.

* The progress meter did not give a useful output when we haven't had
0.5 seconds to measure the throughput during the interval. Instead
show the overall throughput rate at the end, which is a much more
useful number.

* We run an early part of "git gc" that deals with refs before
daemonising (and not under lock) even when running a background
auto-gc, which caused multiple gc processes attempting to run the
early part at the same time. This is now prevented by running the
early part also under the GC lock.
