Otherwise, the sentence "Defaults to HEAD." can be mis-read to mean

The command "git checkout" checks out from the index by default, not
HEAD (the introducing comment were correct, but the detailled

Embarrassingly, the common prefix calculation did not work properly, due
to a mistake in the assignment: instead of assigning the dirname of the
current file name, the dirname of the current common prefix needs to
be assigned to common prefix, when the current prefix does not match the
current file name.

Users were confused about the meaning and use of the --root option.
Notably, since 68c2ec7 (format-patch: show patch text for the root
commit, 2009-01-10), --root has nothing to do with showing the patch
text for the root commit any more.
Shorten and clarify the corresponding paragraph in the DESCRIPTION
section, document --root under OPTIONS, and add an explicit note that
root commits are formatted regardless.

Previously, 'git diff --no-index --stat a b' generated patch output in
addition to the --stat output (or whatever other output format was
requested). Now only the requested output is generated, and patch
output remains the default.

On a 32-bit system, the maximum possible size for an object is less than
4GB, while 64-bit systems may cope with larger objects. Due to this
limitation, variables holding object sizes are using an unsigned long
type (32 bits on 32-bit systems, or 64 bits on 64-bit systems).
When large objects are encountered, and/or people play with large delta
depth values, it is possible for the maximum allowed delta size
computation to overflow, especially on a 32-bit system. When this
occurs, surviving result bits may represent a value much smaller than
what it is supposed to be, or even zero. This prevents some objects
from being deltified although they do get deltified when a smaller depth
limit is used. Fix this by always performing a 64-bit multiplication.

* js/maint-1.6.0-path-normalize:
Remove unused normalize_absolute_path()

Let PATH0=$PATH that was set before the invocation.
Let /foo be a build directory.
Let /pfx be the installation prefix.
Let pfxexecpath=/pfx/libexec/git-core.
The following is going on when 'git --exec-path=/foo gc' is invoked:
1. git sets PATH=/foo:$PATH0 using the path from --exec-path
2. gc execs 'git repack' (note: no dash).
3. Since there is a git in /foo (it's a build directory), /foo/git is
taken.
4. No explicit exec-path is set this time, hence, this secondary git sets
PATH=$pfxexecpath:/foo:$PATH
5. Since 'repack' is not a built-in, execv_dashed_external execs
'git-repack' (note: dash).
6. There is a $pfxexecpath/git-repack, and it is taken.
7. This git-repack runs 'git pack-objects' (note: no dash).
8. There is no git in $pfxexecpath, but there is one in /foo. Hence,
/foo/git is run.
9. pack-objects is a builtin, hence, in effect /foo/git-pack-objects
is run.
As you can see, the way in which we previously set the PATH allowed to
mix gits of different vintage. By setting GIT_EXEC_PATH when --exec-path
was given on the command line, we reduce the confusion.

When there is nothing to be skipped, the output from
rev-list --bisect-vars was eval'ed without first being
strung together with &&; this is probably not a problem
as it is much less likely to be a bad input than the list
handcrafted by the filter_skip function, but it still is
a good discipline.
