Fixes since v1.8.2
------------------

* "git submodule update", when recursed into sub-submodules, did not
acccumulate the prefix paths.

* "git am $maildir/" applied messages in an unexpected order; sort
filenames read from the maildir/ in a way that is more likely to
sort messages in the order the writing MUA meant to, by sorting
numeric segment in numeric order and non-numeric segment in
alphabetical order.

* When export-subst is used, "zip" output recorded incorrect
size of the file.

* Some platforms and users spell UTF-8 differently; retry with the
most official "UTF-8" when the system does not understand the
user-supplied encoding name that are the common alternative
spellings of UTF-8.

* "git branch" did not bother to check nonsense command line
parameters and issue errors in many cases.

* "git update-index -h" did not do the usual "-h(elp)" thing.

* perl/Git.pm::cat_blob slurped everything in core only to write it
out to a file descriptor, which was not a very smart thing to do.

* The SSL peer verification done by "git imap-send" did not ask for
Server Name Indication (RFC 4366), failing to connect SSL/TLS
sites that serve multiple hostnames on a single IP.

* "git index-pack" had a buffer-overflow while preparing an
informational message when the translated version of it was too
long.

* Clarify in the documentation "what" gets pushed to "where" when the
command line to "git push" does not say these explicitly.

* In "git reflog expire", REACHABLE bit was not cleared from the
correct objects.

* The "--color=<when>" argument to the commands in the diff family
was described poorly.

If this environment variable is set then 'git fetch'

of 'ssh' when they need to connect to a remote system.
The '$GIT_SSH' command will be given exactly two arguments:
the 'username@host' (or just 'host') from the URL and the
shell command to execute on that remote system.
The '$GIT_SSH' command will be given exactly two or
four arguments: the 'username@host' (or just 'host')

the 'port' from the URL when it specifies something other

you will need to wrap the program and options into a shell script,
