* More lower-level commands learned to use the streaming API to read
from the object store without keeping everything in core.

* The weighting parameters to suggestion command name typo have been
tweaked, so that "git tags" will suggest "tag?" and not "stage?".

* Because "sh" on the user's PATH may be utterly broken on some
systems, run-command API now uses SHELL_PATH, not /bin/sh, when
spawning an external command (not applicable to Windows port).

releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).

* The progress indicator for a large "git checkout" was sent to
stderr even if it is not a terminal.
(merge e9fc64c ap/checkout-no-progress-for-non-tty later to maint).

* A name taken from mailmap was copied into an internal buffer
incorrectly and could overun the buffer if it is too long.
(merge c9b4e9e jk/format-person-part-buffer-limit later to maint).

* A malformed commit object that has a header line chomped in the
middle could kill git with a NULL pointer dereference.
(merge a9c7a8a jk/pretty-commit-header-incomplete-line later to maint).
* When "git rebase" is fed a bad revision name (either as base, or
with the --onto option), it did not correctly give the command line

* An author/committer name that is a single character was mishandled
as an invalid name by mistake.
(merge d9955fd jk/ident-split-fix later to maint).
* "git rebase -p" used to pay attention to rebase.autosquash which
was wrong. "git rebase -p -i" should, but "git rebase -p" by
itself should not.
(merge 8a6dae1 vr/rebase-autosquash-does-not-imply-i later to maint).

* "git grep -e '$pattern'", unlike the case where the patterns are
read from a file, did not treat individual lines in the given
pattern argument as separate regular expressions as it should.
(merge ec83061 rs/maint-grep-F later to maint).
* "git submodule init" used to report "registered for path ..."
even for submodules that were registered earlier.
(cherry-pick c1c259e jl/submodule-report-new-path-once later to maint).

* "git diff --stat" used to fully count a binary file with modified
execution bits whose contents is unmodified, which was not quite
