"git apply -p0" did not parse pathnames on "diff --git" line
correctly.  This caused patches that had pathnames in no other
places to be mistakenly rejected (most notably, binary patch that
does not rename nor change mode).  Textual patches, renames or mode
changes have preimage and postimage pathnames in different places in
a form that can be parsed unambiguously and did not suffer from this
problem.

* jc/apply-binary-p0:
  apply: compute patch->def_name correctly under -p0

"git log .." errored out saying it is both rev range and a path when
there is no disambiguating "--" is on the command line.  Update the
command line parser to interpret ".." as a path in such a case.

* jc/dotdot-is-parent-directory:
  specifying ranges: we did not mean to make ".." an empty set

The synopsis said "checkout [-B branch]" to make it clear the
branch name is a parameter to the option, but the heading for the
option description was "-B::", not "-B branch::", making the
documentation misleading.

* jc/maint-doc-checkout-b-always-takes-branch-name:
  doc: "git checkout -b/-B/--orphan" always takes a branch name

Pushing to smart HTTP server with recent Git fails without having
the username in the URL to force authentication, if the server is
configured to allow GET anonymously, while requiring authentication
for POST.

After overwriting a tag with a new tag, "Reread references" action
in "gitk" correctly moved the marker in the display, but it failed
to discard a cached contents of the tag (even "Reload" didn't).

Git ships with a fall-back regexp implementation for platforms with
buggy regexp library; give people a tool to see if they should be

Optimise the "merge-base" computation a bit, and also update its
users that do not need the full merge-base information to call a

  http-push: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward check
  receive-pack: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward check
  in_merge_bases(): support only one "other" commit

* nd/i18n-index-pack:
  i18n: mark more index-pack strings for translation

commits created without human readable name on "committer" line.
