Recent "git prune" traverses young unreachable objects to safekeep
old objects in the reachability chain from them, which sometimes
caused error messages that are unnecessarily alarming.

* jk/squelch-missing-link-warning-for-unreachable:
  suppress errors on missing UNINTERESTING links
  silence broken link warnings with revs->ignore_missing_links
  add quieter versions of parse_{tree,commit}

Add more test coverage to "git pull".

* pt/pull-tests:
  t5520: check reflog action in fast-forward merge

  t5520: test --rebase failure on unborn branch with index
  t5520: test --rebase with multiple branches
  t5520: test work tree fast-forward when fetch updates head
  t5520: test for failure if index has unresolved entries

  glossary: add "remote", "submodule", "superproject"

* sb/submodule-doc-intro:
  submodule doc: reorder introductory paragraphs

The configuration reader/writer uses mmap(2) interface to access
the files; when we find a directory, it barfed with "Out of memory?".

* jk/diagnose-config-mmap-failure:
  xmmap(): drop "Out of memory?"
  config.c: rewrite ENODEV into EISDIR when mmap fails
  config.c: avoid xmmap error messages
  config.c: fix mmap leak when writing config
  read-cache.c: drop PROT_WRITE from mmap of index

* mt/p4-depotFile-at-version:
  p4: retrieve the right revision of the file in UTF-16 codepath

Bring consistency to error reporting mechanism used in "refs" API.

* mh/verify-lock-error-report:
  ref_transaction_commit(): do not capitalize error messages
  verify_lock(): do not capitalize error messages
  verify_lock(): report errors via a strbuf
  verify_lock(): on errors, let the caller unlock the lock
  verify_lock(): return 0/-1 rather than struct ref_lock *

"color.diff.plain" was a misnomer; give it 'color.diff.context' as
a more logical synonym.

* jk/color-diff-plain-is-context:
  diff.h: rename DIFF_PLAIN color slot to DIFF_CONTEXT
  diff: accept color.diff.context as a synonym for "plain"

Code clean-up.

* jk/clone-dissociate:
  clone: reorder --dissociate and --reference options
  clone: use OPT_STRING_LIST for --reference

Allow whitespace breakages in deleted and context lines to be also
painted in the output.

* jc/diff-ws-error-highlight:
  diff.c: --ws-error-highlight=<kind> option
  diff.c: add emit_del_line() and emit_context_line()
  t4015: separate common setup and per-test expectation
  t4015: modernise style

Unlike "$EDITOR" and "$GIT_EDITOR" that can hold the path to the
command and initial options (e.g. "/path/to/emacs -nw"), 'git p4'
did not let the shell interpolate the contents of the environment
variable that name the editor "$P4EDITOR" (and "$EDITOR", too).
Make it in line with the rest of Git, as well as with Perforce.

* ld/p4-editor-multi-words:
  git-p4: tests: use test-chmtime in place of touch
  git-p4: fix handling of multi-word P4EDITOR
  git-p4: add failing test for P4EDITOR handling

for_each_ref() callback functions were taught to name the objects
not with "unsigned char sha1[20]" but with "struct object_id".

  warn_if_dangling_symref(): convert local variable "junk" to object_id
  each_ref_fn_adapter(): remove adapter

Introduce <branch>@{push} short-hand to denote the remote-tracking
branch that tracks the branch at the remote the <branch> would be
pushed to.

* jk/at-push-sha1:
  for-each-ref: accept "%(push)" format
  for-each-ref: use skip_prefix instead of starts_with
  sha1_name: implement @{push} shorthand

  branch: do not call a "remote-tracking branch" a "remote branch"

Test clean-up.

* jk/skip-http-tests-under-no-curl:

* fg/document-commit-message-stripping:
  Documentation: clarify how "git commit" cleans up the edited log message

"git rerere forget" in a repository without rerere enabled gave a
cryptic error message; it should be a silent no-op instead.

* jk/rerere-forget-check-enabled:
  rerere: exit silently on "forget" when rerere is disabled

"git pull --log" and "git pull --no-log" worked as expected, but
"git pull --log=20" did not.

* pt/pull-log-n:
  pull: handle --log=<n>

The pull.ff configuration was supposed to override the merge.ff
configuration, but it didn't.

* pt/pull-ff-vs-merge-ff:
  pull: parse pull.ff as a bool or string
  pull: make pull.ff=true override merge.ff

The code to read pack-bitmap wanted to allocate a few hundred
pointers to a structure, but by mistake allocated and leaked memory
enough to hold that many actual structures.  Correct the allocation
size and also have it on stack, as it is small enough.

* rs/plug-leak-in-pack-bitmaps:
  pack-bitmaps: plug memory leak, fix allocation size for recent_bitmaps

A literal block in the tutorial had lines with unequal lengths to
delimit it from the rest of the document, which choke GitHub's
AsciiDoc renderer.

* ja/tutorial-asciidoctor-fix:
  doc: fix unmatched code fences

Various documentation mark-up fixes to make the output more
consistent in general and also make AsciiDoctor (an alternative
formatter) happier.

  doc: put example URLs and emails inside literal backticks
  doc: drop backslash quoting of some curly braces

"git bundle verify" did not diagnose extra parameters on the
command line.

* ps/bundle-verify-arg:
  bundle: verify arguments more strictly

Multi-ref transaction support we merged a few releases ago
unnecessarily kept many file descriptors open, risking to fail with
resource exhaustion.  This is for 2.4.x track.

* mh/write-refs-sooner-2.4:
  ref_transaction_commit(): fix atomicity and avoid fd exhaustion
  ref_transaction_commit(): remove the local flags variable

The ref API did not handle cases where 'refs/heads/xyzzy/frotz' is
removed at the same time as 'refs/heads/xyzzy' is added (or vice
versa) very well.

* mh/ref-directory-file:
  reflog_expire(): integrate lock_ref_sha1_basic() errors into ours

The "log --decorate" enhancement in Git 2.4 that shows the commit
at the tip of the current branch e.g. "HEAD -> master", did not
work with --decorate=full.

* mg/log-decorate-HEAD:
  log: do not shorten decoration names too early
  log: decorate HEAD with branch name under --decorate=full, too

There was a commented-out (instead of being marked to expect
failure) test that documented a breakage that was fixed since the
test was written; turn it into a proper test.

* sb/t1020-cleanup:
  subdirectory tests: code cleanup, uncomment test

core.excludesfile (defaulting to $XDG_HOME/git/ignore) is supposed
to be overridden by repository-specific .git/info/exclude file, but
the order was swapped from the beginning. This belatedly fixes it.

* jc/gitignore-precedence:
  ignore: info/exclude should trump core.excludesfile

The connection initiation code for "ssh" transport tried to absorb
differences between the stock "ssh" and Putty-supplied "plink" and
its derivatives, but the logic to tell that we are using "plink"
variants were too loose and falsely triggered when "plink" appeared
anywhere in the path (e.g. "/home/me/bin/uplink/ssh").

* bc/connect-plink:
  connect: improve check for plink to reduce false positives
  t5601: fix quotation error leading to skipped tests
  connect: simplify SSH connection code path

"git rebase -i" moved the "current" command from "todo" to "done" a
bit too prematurely, losing a step when a "pick" did not even start.

* ph/rebase-i-redo:
  rebase -i: redo tasks that die during cherry-pick

"git add -e" did not allow the user to abort the operation by
killing the editor.

* jk/add-e-kill-editor:
  add: check return value of launch_editor

Git 2.4 broke setting verbosity and progress levels on "git clone"
with native transports.

* mh/clone-verbosity-fix:
  clone: call transport_set_verbosity before anything else on the newly created transport

* jk/sha1-file-reduce-useless-warnings:
  sha1_file: squelch "packfile cannot be accessed" warnings

Some time ago, "git blame" (incorrectly) lost the convert_to_git()
call when synthesizing a fake "tip" commit that represents the
state in the working tree, which broke folks who record the history
with LF line ending to make their project portabile across
platforms while terminating lines in their working tree files with
CRLF for their platform.

* tb/blame-resurrect-convert-to-git:
  blame: CRLF in the working tree and LF in the repo

* jc/plug-fmt-merge-msg-leak:
  fmt-merge-msg: plug small leak of commit buffer
