Fixes since v1.8.2
------------------
* Verification of signed tags were not done correctly when not in C
or en/US locale.
* 'git commit -m "$msg"' used to add an extra newline even when
$msg already ended with one.
* The "--match=<pattern>" option of "git describe", when used with
"--all" to allow refs that are not annotated tags to be used as a
base of description, did not restrict the output from the command
to those that match the given pattern.
* An aliased command spawned from a bare repository that does not say
it is bare with "core.bare = yes" is treated as non-bare by mistake.
* When "format-patch" quoted a non-ascii strings on the header files,
it incorrectly applied rfc2047 and chopped a single character in
the middle of it.
* "git archive" reports a failure when asked to create an archive out
of an empty tree. It would be more intuitive to give an empty
archive back in such a case.
* "git tag -f <tag>" always said "Updated tag '<tag>'" even when
creating a new tag (i.e. not overwriting nor updating).
* "git cmd -- ':(top'" was not diagnosed as an invalid syntax, and
instead the parser kept reading beyond the end of the string.
* Annotated tags outside refs/tags/ hierarchy were not advertised
correctly to the ls-remote and fetch with recent version of Git.
* The code to keep track of what directory names are known to Git on
platforms with case insensitive filesystems can get confused upon a
hash collision between these pathnames and looped forever.
* The logic used by "git diff -M --stat" to shorten the names of
files before and after a rename did not work correctly when the
common prefix and suffix between the two filenames overlapped.
