happened a yew years ago.

"git difftool" does.

completion: support `git mergetool --[no-]gui`
mergetool: accept -g/--[no-]gui as arguments
The way the Windows port figures out the current directory has been
improved.
* js/mingw-getcwd:
mingw: fix getcwd when the parent directory cannot be queried
mingw: ensure `getcwd()` reports the correct case
Reorganize some tests and rename them; "ls t/" now gives a better
overview of what is tested for these scripts than before.
* ss/rename-tests:
t7501: rename commit test to comply with naming convention
t7500: rename commit tests script to comply with naming convention

t7509: cleanup description and filename
t2000: rename and combine checkout clash tests
The receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead codepath kicked in even
when the push should have been rejected due to other reasons, such
as it does not fast-forward or the update-hook rejects it, which
has been corrected.
* jc/receive-deny-current-branch-fix:
receive: denyCurrentBranch=updateinstead should not blindly update
One of our CI tests to run with "unusual/experimental/random"
settings now also uses commit-graph and midx.
* ds/ci-commit-graph-and-midx:
ci: add optional test variables
Under certain circumstances, "git diff D:/a/b/c D:/a/b/d" on
Windows would strip initial parts from the paths because they
were not recognized as absolute, which has been corrected.
* js/diff-notice-has-drive-prefix:
diff: don't attempt to strip prefix from absolute Windows paths
Plugging a handful of memory leaks in the ref-filter codepath.

ref-filter: free item->value and item->value->s
ls-remote: release memory instead of UNLEAK
ref-filter: free memory from used_atom
A mutex used in "git pack-objects" were not correctly initialized
and this caused "git repack" to dump core on Windows.
* js/pack-objects-mutex-init-fix:
pack-objects (mingw): initialize `packing_data` mutex in the correct spot
pack-objects (mingw): demonstrate a segmentation fault with large deltas
pack-objects: fix typo 'detla' -> 'delta'
More codepaths are moving away from hardcoded hash sizes.
* bc/hash-transition-part-15:
rerere: convert to use the_hash_algo
submodule: make zero-oid comparison hash function agnostic
apply: rename new_sha1_prefix and old_sha1_prefix

object_id.cocci: match only expressions of type 'struct object_id'
The implementation of run_command() API on the UNIX platforms had a
bug that caused a command not on $PATH to be found in the current
directory.
* jk/run-command-notdot:
run-command: mark path lookup errors with ENOENT
"git send-email" learned to grab address-looking string on any
trailer whose name ends with "-by"; --suppress-cc=misc-by on the
command line, or setting sendemail.suppresscc configuration
variable to "misc-by", can be used to disable this behaviour.
This is a backward-incompatible change that may surprise existing
users.
* rv/send-email-cc-misc-by:
send-email: also pick up cc addresses from -by trailers
send-email: only consider lines containing @ or <> for automatic Cc'ing
Documentation/git-send-email.txt: style fixes
"git range-diff" did not work well when the compared ranges had
changes in submodules and the "--submodule=log" was used.
* lm/range-diff-submodule-fix:
range-diff: allow to diff files regardless of submodule config
Build update for "git subtree" (in contrib/) documentation pages.
* ch/subtree-build:
Revert "subtree: make install targets depend on build targets"
subtree: make install targets depend on build targets
subtree: add build targets 'man' and 'html'

"tree:0" filter.

filter-trees: code clean-up of tests
list-objects-filter: implement filter tree:0
list-objects-filter-options: do not over-strbuf_init
list-objects-filter: use BUG rather than die

rev-list: handle missing tree objects properly
list-objects: always parse trees gently
list-objects: refactor to process_tree_contents
list-objects: store common func args in struct
The logic to select the default user name and e-mail on Windows has
been improved.
* js/mingw-default-ident:
mingw: use domain information for default email
getpwuid(mingw): provide a better default for the user name
getpwuid(mingw): initialize the structure only once
"git p4 unshelve" improvements.
* ld/p4-unshelve:
git-p4: fully support unshelving changelists
git-p4: unshelve into refs/remotes/p4-unshelved, not refs/remotes/p4/unshelved
git-p4: do not fail in verbose mode for missing 'fileSize' key
The documentation of "git gc" has been updated to mention that it
is no longer limited to "pruning away crufts" but also updates
ancillary files like commit-graph as a part of repository
optimization.
* ab/gc-doc-update:
gc doc: mention the commit-graph in the intro
An experiment to fuzz test a few areas, hopefully we can gain more
coverage to various areas.
* js/fuzzer:
fuzz: add fuzz testing for packfile indices.
fuzz: add basic fuzz testing target.
"git cmd --help" when "cmd" is aliased used to only say "cmd is
aliased to ...". Now it shows that to the standard error stream
and runs "git $cmd --help" where $cmd is the first word of the
alias expansion.
This could be misleading for those who alias a command with options
(e.g. with "[alias] cpn = cherry-pick -n", "git cpn --help" would
show the manual of "cherry-pick", and the reader would not be told
to pay close attention to the part that describes the "--no-commit"
option until closing the pager that showed the contents of the
manual, if the pager is configured to restore the original screen,
or would not be told at all, if the pager simply makes the message
on the standard error scroll away.
* rv/alias-help:
git-help.txt: document "git help cmd" vs "git cmd --help" for aliases
git.c: handle_alias: prepend alias info when first argument is -h
help: redirect to aliased commands for "git cmd --help"
"git log --graph" showing an octopus merge sometimes miscounted the
number of display columns it is consuming to show the merge and its
parent commits, which has been corrected.
* np/log-graph-octopus-fix:
log: fix coloring of certain octopus merge shapes
The codepath to support the experimental split-index mode had
remaining "racily clean" issues fixed.
* sg/split-index-racefix:
split-index: BUG() when cache entry refers to non-existing shared entry
split-index: smudge and add racily clean cache entries to split index
split-index: don't compare cached data of entries already marked for split index
split-index: count the number of deleted entries
t1700-split-index: date back files to avoid racy situations
split-index: add tests to demonstrate the racy split index problem
t1700-split-index: document why FSMONITOR is disabled in this test script
The result of coverage test can be combined with "git blame" to
check the test coverage of code introduced recently with a new
'coverage-diff' tool (in contrib/).
* ds/coverage-diff:
contrib: add coverage-diff script
To help developers, an EditorConfig file that attempts to follow
the project convention has been added.
* bc/editorconfig:
editorconfig: indicate settings should be kept in sync
editorconfig: provide editor settings for Git developers
