* Update a few tests that used to use GIT_CURL_VERBOSE to use the
newer GIT_TRACE_CURL.
+ * Update Japanese translation for "git-gui".
+
+ * "git fetch http::/site/path" did not die correctly and segfaulted
+ instead.
+
+ * "git commit-tree" stopped reading commit.gpgsign configuration
+ variable that was meant for Porcelain "git commit" in Git 2.9; we
+ forgot to update "git gui" to look at the configuration to match
+ this change.
+
+ * "git log --cherry-pick" used to include merge commits as candidates
+ to be matched up with other commits, resulting a lot of wasted time.
+ The patch-id generation logic has been updated to ignore merges to
+ avoid the wastage.
+
+ * The http transport (with curl-multi option, which is the default
+ these days) failed to remove curl-easy handle from a curlm session,
+ which led to unnecessary API failures.
+
+ * "git diff -W" output needs to extend the context backward to
+ include the header line of the current function and also forward to
+ include the body of the entire current function up to the header
+ line of the next one. This process may have to merge to adjacent
+ hunks, but the code forgot to do so in some cases.
+
+ * Performance tests done via "t/perf" did not use the same set of
+ build configuration if the user relied on autoconf generated
+ configuration.
+
+ * "git format-patch --base=..." feature that was recently added
+ showed the base commit information after "-- " e-mail signature
+ line, which turned out to be inconvenient. The base information
+ has been moved above the signature line.
+
+ * Even when "git pull --rebase=preserve" (and the underlying "git
+ rebase --preserve") can complete without creating any new commit
+ (i.e. fast-forwards), it still insisted on having a usable ident
+ information (read: user.email is set correctly), which was less
+ than nice. As the underlying commands used inside "git rebase"
+ would fail with a more meaningful error message and advice text
+ when the bogus ident matters, this extra check was removed.
+
+ * "git gc --aggressive" used to limit the delta-chain length to 250,
+ which is way too deep for gaining additional space savings and is
+ detrimental for runtime performance. The limit has been reduced to
+ 50.
+
+ * Documentation for individual configuration variables to control use
+ of color (like `color.grep`) said that their default value is
+ 'false', instead of saying their default is taken from `color.ui`.
+ When we updated the default value for color.ui from 'false' to
+ 'auto' quite a while ago, all of them broke. This has been
+ corrected.
+
+ * A shell script example in check-ref-format documentation has been
+ fixed.
+
+ * "git checkout <word>" does not follow the usual disambiguation
+ rules when the <word> can be both a rev and a path, to allow
+ checking out a branch 'foo' in a project that happens to have a
+ file 'foo' in the working tree without having to disambiguate.
+ This was poorly documented and the check was incorrect when the
+ command was run from a subdirectory.
+
+ * Some codepaths in "git diff" used regexec(3) on a buffer that was
+ mmap(2)ed, which may not have a terminating NUL, leading to a read
+ beyond the end of the mapped region. This was fixed by introducing
+ a regexec_buf() helper that takes a <ptr,len> pair with REG_STARTEND
+ extension.
+
+ * The procedure to build Git on Mac OS X for Travis CI hardcoded the
+ internal directory structure we assumed HomeBrew uses, which was a
+ no-no. The procedure has been updated to ask HomeBrew things we
+ need to know to fix this.
+
+ * When "git rebase -i" is given a broken instruction, it told the
+ user to fix it with "--edit-todo", but didn't say what the step
+ after that was (i.e. "--continue").
+
+ * "git add --chmod=+x" added recently lacked documentation, which has
+ been corrected.
+
+ * "git add --chmod=+x <pathspec>" added recently only toggled the
+ executable bit for paths that are either new or modified. This has
+ been corrected to flip the executable bit for all paths that match
+ the given pathspec.
+
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
