* The new "--follow-tags" option tells "git push" to push relevant
annotated tags when pushing branches out.
* "git merge" and "git pull" can optionally be told to inspect and
reject when merging a commit that does not carry a trusted GPG
signature.
* "git mergetool" now feeds files to the "p4merge" backend in the
order that matches the p4 convention, where "theirs" is usually
shown on the left side, which is the opposite from other backend

track are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
* "git merge $(git rev-parse v1.8.2)" behaved quite differently from
"git merge v1.8.2", as if v1.8.2 were written as v1.8.2^0 and did
not pay much attention to the annotated tag payload. Make the code
notice the type of the tag object, in addition to the dwim_ref()
based classification the current code uses (i.e. the name appears
in refs/tags/) to decide when to special case merging of tags.
(merge a38d3d7 jc/merge-tag-object later to maint).
* Fix 1.8.1.x regression that stopped matching "dir" (without
trailing slash) to a directory "dir".
(merge efa5f82 jc/directory-attrs-regression-fix later to maint-1.8.1).
