Merge branch 'master' into js/fmt-patch
* master: (109 commits) t1300-repo-config: two new config parsing tests. Another config file parsing fix. update-index: plug memory leak from prefix_path() checkout-index: plug memory leak from prefix_path() update-index --unresolve: work from a subdirectory. pack-object: squelch eye-candy on non-tty core.prefersymlinkrefs: use symlinks for .git/HEAD repo-config: trim white-space before comment Fix for config file section parsing. Clarify git-cherry documentation. Update git-unpack-objects documentation. Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly. Several trivial documentation touch ups. git-svn 1.0.0 git-svn: documentation updates delta: stricter constness Makefile: do not link rev-list any specially. builtin-push: --all and --tags _are_ explicit refspecs builtin-log/whatchanged/show: make them official. show-branch: omit uninteresting merges. ...
