When the http server gives an incomplete response to a smart-http
rpc call, it could lead to client waiting for a full response that
will never come.  Teach the client side to notice this condition
and abort the transfer.

"git p4" that tracks multile p4 paths imported a single changelist

Even though an fix was attempted in Git 2.9.3 days, but running

A lazy "git push" without refspec did not internally use a fully

A recent update to receive-pack to make it easier to drop garbage
objects made it clear that GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES cannot
have a pathname with a colon in it (no surprise!), and this in turn
made it impossible to push into a repository at such a path.  This
has been fixed by introducing a quoting mechanism used when
appending such a path to the colon-separated list.

Unlike "git am --abort", "git cherry-pick --abort" moved HEAD back
to where cherry-pick started while picking multiple changes, when
the cherry-pick stopped to ask for help from the user, and the user
did "git reset --hard" to a different commit in order to re-attempt
the operation.

"git commit --allow-empty --only" (no pathspec) with dirty index
ought to be an acceptable way to create a new commit that does not
change any paths, but it was forbidden, perhaps because nobody
needed it so far.

* ak/commit-only-allow-empty:
  commit: remove 'Clever' message for --only --amend

"git difftool --dir-diff" had a minor regression when started from

When diff.renames configuration is on (and with Git 2.9 and later,
it is enabled by default, which made it worse), "git stash"
misbehaved if a file is removed and another file with a very
similar content is added.

Update the error messages from the dumb-http client when it fails

The output from "git worktree list" was made in readdir() order,
and was unstable.

* nd/worktree-list-fixup:
  worktree list: keep the list sorted
  worktree.c: get_worktrees() takes a new flag argument
  get_worktrees() must return main worktree as first item even on error
  worktree: reorder an if statement
  worktree.c: zero new 'struct worktree' on allocation

"git push --dry-run --recurse-submodule=on-demand" wasn't
"--dry-run" in the submodules.

* bw/push-dry-run:
  push: fix --dry-run to not push submodules
  push: --dry-run updates submodules when --recurse-submodules=on-demand

The code in "git push" to compute if any commit being pushed in the
superproject binds a commit in a submodule that hasn't been pushed
out was overly inefficient, making it unusable even for a small
project that does not have any submodule but have a reasonable
number of refs.

* hv/submodule-not-yet-pushed-fix:
  submodule_needs_pushing(): explain the behaviour when we cannot answer
  batch check whether submodule needs pushing into one call

An empty directory in a working tree that can simply be nuked used
to interfere while merging or cherry-picking a change to create a

The default Travis-CI configuration specifies newer P4 and GitLFS.

* ls/travis-update-p4-and-lfs:
  travis-ci: update P4 to 16.2 and GitLFS to 1.5.2 in Linux build

Git for Windows has carried a patch that depended on internals
of MSVC runtime, but it does not work correctly with recent MSVC
runtime. A replacement was written originally for compiling
with VC++. The patch in this message is a backport of that
replacement, and it also fixes the previous attempt to make
isatty() tell that /dev/null is *not* an interactive terminal.

Git only colours the output and uses pagination if isatty() returns 1.
MSYS2 and Cygwin emulate pseudo terminals via named pipes, meaning that
isatty() returns 0.

f7f90e0f (mingw: make isatty() recognize MSYS2's pseudo terminals
(/dev/pty*), 2016-04-27) fixed this for MSYS2 terminals, but not for
Cygwin.

The named pipes that Cygwin and MSYS2 use are very similar. MSYS2 PTY pipes
are called 'msys-*-pty*' and Cygwin uses 'cygwin-*-pty*'. This commit
modifies the existing check to allow both MSYS2 and Cygwin PTY pipes to be
identified as TTYs.

Note that pagination is still broken when running Git for Windows from
within Cygwin, as MSYS2's less.exe is spawned (and does not like to
interact with Cygwin's PTY).

When determining whether a handle corresponds to a *real* Win32 Console
(as opposed to, say, a character device such as /dev/null), we use the
GetConsoleOutputBufferInfo() function as a tell-tale.

However, that does not work for *input* handles associated with a
console. Let's just use the GetConsoleMode() function for input handles,
and since it does not work on output handles fall back to the previous
method for those.

This patch prepares for using is_console() instead of my previous
misguided attempt in cbb3f3c9 (mingw: intercept isatty() to handle
/dev/null as Git expects it, 2016-12-11) that broke everything on
Windows.
