+ * Applying a patch not generated by Git in a subdirectory used to

+ excluded via "git apply --exclude=<path>" mechanism.
+ (merge 477a08a jc/apply-ws-prefix later to maint).
+

+ exclude tags outside the range, but it didn't.

+ symbolic link to a directory misbehaved.
+ (merge ccad42d rs/refresh-beyond-symlink later to maint).
+

+ is a stash, which was a no-no.
+ (merge 0fa7f01 jk/prompt-stash-could-be-packed later to maint).
