* rs/use-strbuf-complete-line:
  use strbuf_complete_line() for adding a newline if needed

"git-prompt" (in contrib/) used a variable from the global scope,
possibly contaminating end-user's namespace.

* jg/prompt-localize-temporary:
  git-prompt.sh: make $f local to __git_eread()

Recent GPG changes the keyring format and drops support for RFC1991
formatted signatures, breaking our existing tests.

* ch/new-gpg-drops-rfc-1991:
  tests: make comment on GPG keyring match the code
  tests: squelch noise from GPG machinery set-up
  tests: replace binary GPG keyrings with ASCII-armored keys
  tests: skip RFC1991 tests for gnupg 2.1
  tests: create gpg homedir on the fly

Recent update to "git commit" broke amending an existing commit
with bogus author/committer lines without a valid e-mail address.

* jk/commit-date-approxidate:
  commit: always populate GIT_AUTHOR_* variables
  commit: loosen ident checks when generating template

A typofix to the documentation of a feature already in the release.

* nd/split-index:
  index-format.txt: add a missing closing quote

* jk/test-asan:
  t: support clang/gcc AddressSanitizer

* ok/rebase-i-count-todo:
  Show number of TODO items for interactive rebase

Git did not correctly read an overlong refname from a packed refs
file.

* jk/read-packed-refs-without-path-max:
  read_packed_refs: use skip_prefix instead of static array
  read_packed_refs: pass strbuf to parse_ref_line
  read_packed_refs: use a strbuf for reading lines

"git push" and "git fetch" did not communicate an overlong refname
correctly.

* jk/always-allow-large-packets:
  pkt-line: allow writing of LARGE_PACKET_MAX buffers

"diff-highlight" filter (in contrib/) allows its color output
to be customized via configuration variables.

* jk/colors:
  parse_color: drop COLOR_BACKGROUND macro
  diff-highlight: allow configurable colors
  parse_color: recognize "no$foo" to clear the $foo attribute
  parse_color: support 24-bit RGB values
  parse_color: refactor color storage

* rw/apply-does-not-take-ignore-date:
  git-am.txt: --ignore-date flag is not passed to git-apply

* js/test-hashmap-squelch-gcc:
  test-hashmap: squelch gcc compiler warning

New tag object format validation added in 2.2 showed garbage
after a tagname it reported in its error message.

* js/fsck-tag-validation:
  index-pack: terminate object buffers with NUL
  fsck: properly bound "invalid tag name" error message

Fixes long-standing misunderstanding of what assume-unchanged is
about.  Some text near what is removed by the bottom patch may also
have to be removed.

* po/doc-assume-unchanged:
  gitignore.txt: do not suggest assume-unchanged
  doc: make clear --assume-unchanged's user contract

"git branch -d" (delete) and "git branch -m" (move) learned to
honor "-f" (force) flag; unlike many other subcommands, the way to
force these have been with separate "-D/-M" options, which was
inconsistent.

* mg/branch-d-m-f:
  branch: allow -f with -m and -d
  t3200-branch: test -M

* tb/t0027-eol-conversion:
  t0027: check the eol conversion warnings

The code that reads the reflog from the newer to the older entries
did not handle an entry that crosses a boundary of block it uses to
read them correctly.

* jk/for-each-reflog-ent-reverse:
  for_each_reflog_ent_reverse: turn leftover check into assertion
  for_each_reflog_ent_reverse: fix newlines on block boundaries

API simplification.

* sb/string-list:
  string_list: remove string_list_insert_at_index() from its API
  mailmap: use higher level string list functions
  string_list: document string_list_(insert,lookup)

* sv/doc-stripspace:
  Documentation/git-stripspace: add synopsis for --comment-lines

* rt/completion-tag:
  completion: add git-tag options

* mg/doc-check-ignore-tracked-are-not-ignored:
  check-ignore: clarify treatment of tracked files

Credential helpers are asked in turn until one of them give
positive response, which is cumbersome to turn off when you need to
run Git in an automated setting.  The credential helper interface
learned to allow a helper to say "stop, don't ask other helpers."
Also GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT environment can be set to false to disable
our built-in prompt mechanism for passwords.

* jk/credential-quit:
  prompt: respect GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT to disable terminal prompts
  credential: let helpers tell us to quit

Long overdue departure from the assumption that S_IFMT is shared by
everybody made in 2005.

* dm/compat-s-ifmt-for-zos:
  compat: convert modes to use portable file type values

"git new-workdir" (in contrib/) can be used to populate an empty
and existing directory now.

* ps/new-workdir-into-empty-directory:
  git-new-workdir: don't fail if the target directory is empty

"git ls-tree" does not support path selection based on negative
pathspecs, but did not error out when negative pathspecs are given.

* nd/ls-tree-pathspec:
  t3102: style modernization
  t3102: document that ls-tree does not yet support negated pathspec
  ls-tree: disable negative pathspec because it's not supported
  ls-tree: remove path filtering logic in show_tree
  tree.c: update read_tree_recursive callback to pass strbuf as base

Remove unused code.

* jc/hook-cleanup:
  run-command.c: retire unused run_hook_with_custom_index()

* rt/for-each-ref-spell-tcl-as-Tcl:
  for-each-ref: correct spelling of Tcl in option description

* rj/t0050-passes:
  t0050-*.sh: mark the rename (case change) test as passing

"git push" into a repository with a working tree normally refuses
to modify the branch that is checked out.  The command learned to
optionally do an equivalent of "git reset --hard" only when there
is no change to the working tree and the index instead, which would
be useful to "deploy" by pushing into a repository.

* js/push-to-deploy:
  t5516: more tests for receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead
  receive-pack: add another option for receive.denyCurrentBranch

The function sometimes returned a non-freeable memory and some
other times returned a piece of memory that must be freed.

* jc/exec-cmd-system-path-leak-fix:
  system_path(): always return free'able memory to the caller

The code to abbreviate an object name to its short unique prefix
has been optimized when no abbreviation was requested.

* mh/find-uniq-abbrev:
  sha1_name: avoid unnecessary sha1 lookup in find_unique_abbrev

"git send-email" learned "--transfer-encoding" option to force
a non-fault Content-Transfer-Encoding header (e.g. base64).

* pb/send-email-te:
  git-send-email: add --transfer-encoding option
  git-send-email: delay creation of MIME headers

"git am" learned "--message-id" option to copy the message ID of
the incoming e-mail to the log message of resulting commit.

* pb/am-message-id-footer:
  git-am: add --message-id/--no-message-id
  git-mailinfo: add --message-id

"git remote update --prune" to drop many refs has been optimized.

* mh/simplify-repack-without-refs:
  sort_string_list(): rename to string_list_sort()
  prune_remote(): iterate using for_each_string_list_item()
  prune_remote(): rename local variable
  repack_without_refs(): make the refnames argument a string_list
  prune_remote(): sort delete_refs_list references en masse
  prune_remote(): initialize both delete_refs lists in a single loop
  prune_remote(): exit early if there are no stale references

* dw/shell-basename-dashdash-before-stripping-leading-dash-from-login:
  git-sh-setup.sh: use dashdash with basename call

Avoid compilation warnings on recent gcc toolchain on Cygwin.

* rj/no-xopen-source-for-cygwin:
  git-compat-util.h: don't define _XOPEN_SOURCE on cygwin

* js/t5000-dont-copy-bin-sh:
  t5000 on Windows: do not mistake "sh.exe" as "sh"
