The existing text was very vague about what exactly it means
for difference to "contain" a change. This seems to cause
confusion on the mailing list every month or two.
To fix it we:
1. use "introduce or remove an instance of" instead of
"contain"
2. point the user to gitdiffcore(7), which contains a more
complete explanation

send-email: don't create temporary compose file until it is needed
send-email: --suppress-cc improvements
send-email: handle multiple Cc addresses when reading mbox message
send-email: allow send-email to run outside a repo
The documentation is just a pointer to the --bool and --int
options, but it makes sense to at least mention that it
exists.

The parameters accepted by the --whitespace option of "git apply" have
changed over time, and the documentation for "git rebase" was out of
sync. Remove the specific parameter list from the "git rebase"
documentation and simply point to the "git apply" documentation for
details, as is already done in the "git am" documentation.

The rules how the patterns are matched against path names are the same
for .gitattribute and .gitignore files.
This also replace the notion "glob pattern" by "pattern" because
gitignore.txt talks about "glob" only in some contexts where the pattern
is mentioned.

Talking about --date, one thing I wanted for the 1234567890 date was to
get things in the raw format. Sure, you get them with --pretty=raw, but it
felt a bit sad that you couldn't just ask for the date in raw format.
So here's a throw-away patch (meaning: I won't be re-sending it, because I
really don't think it's a big deal) to add "--date=raw". It just prints
out the internal raw git format - seconds since epoch plus timezone (put
another way: 'date +"%s %z"' format)

* ms/mailmap:
Move mailmap documentation into separate file
Change current mailmap usage to do matching on both name and email of author/committer.
Add map_user() and clear_mailmap() to mailmap
Add find_insert_index, insert_at_index and clear_func functions to string_list
Add mailmap.file as configurational option for mailmap location
Since 6564828 (git-send-email: Generalize auto-cc recipient
mechanism., 2007-12-25) we can suppress automatic Cc generation
separately for each of the possible address sources. However,
--suppress-cc=sob suppressed both SOB lines and body (but not header)
Cc lines, contrary to the name.
Change --suppress-cc=sob to mean only SOB lines, and add separate
choices 'bodycc' (body Cc lines) and 'body' (both 'sob' and 'bodycc').
The option --no-signed-off-by-cc now acts like --suppress-cc=sob,
which is not backwards compatible but matches the name of the option.
Also update the documentation and add a few tests.
Original patch by me. Revised by Thomas Rast, who contributed the
documentation and test updates.

Add a section about how to shrink a repository's size after running
git-filter-branch to remove large blobs from history.
This comes up every week or so on IRC, and the commands required to
handle every case are not very newbie-friendly, so hopefully writing
them down somewhere leads to fewer questions.
It may seem contradictory to document fallbacks for older Gits in
newer docs, but we want to point people at this as a FAQ answer, and
they will frequently not have the newest version installed.

corrections.

With this patch, "git gc --no-prune" will not prune any loose (and
dangling) object, and "git gc --prune=5.minutes.ago" will prune
all loose objects older than 5 minutes.

RelNotes
Since dbc6c74d08, git-svn has had
an expensive check for broken symlinks that exist in some
repositories. This leads to a heavy performance hit on
repositories with many empty blobs that are not supposed to be
symlinks.
The workaround is enabled by default; and may be disabled via:
git config svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround false
