Updates since v1.8.2
--------------------
Foreign interface
* remote-hg helper (in contrib/) has been updated.
UI, Workflows & Features
* "git branch --vv" learned to paint the name of the branch it
integrates with in a different color (color.branch.upstream,
which defaults to blue).
* In a sparsely populated working tree, "git checkout <pathspec>" no
longer unmarks paths that match the given pathspec that were
originally ignored with "--sparse" (use --ignore-skip-worktree-bits
option to resurrect these paths out of the index if you really want
to).
* "git bisect" leaves the final outcome as a comment in its bisect
log file.
* "git clone --reference" can now refer to a gitfile "textual symlink"
that points at the real location of the repository.
* "git count-objects" learned "--human-readable" aka "-H" option to
show various large numbers in Ki/Mi/GiB scaled as necessary.

track are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
* A commit object whose author or committer ident are malformed
crashed some code that trusted that a name, an email and an
timestamp can always be found in it.
(merge de5abe9 jk/chopped-ident later to maint).
* When "upload-pack" fails while generating a pack in response to
"git fetch" (or "git clone"), the receiving side mistakenly said
there was a programming error to trigger the die handler
