* "git apply" learned to wiggle the base version and perform three-way
merge when a patch does not exactly apply to the version you have.

* The error message from "git push $there :bogo" (and its equivalent
"git push $there --delete bogo") mentioned that we tried and failed
to guess what ref is being deleted based on the LHS of the refspec,

* "commit --amend" used to refuse amending a commit with an empty log

* "git commit --amend --only --" was meant to allow "Clever" people to
rewrite the commit message without making any change even when they
have already changes for the next commit added to their index, but

(merge ea2d4ed jk/maint-commit-amend-only-no-paths later to maint).
* Even though the index can record pathnames longer than 1<<12 bytes,
in some places we were not comparing them in full, potentially
replacing index entries instead of adding.

* "git show"'s auto-walking behaviour was an unreliable and
unpredictable hack; it now behaves just like "git log" does when it
walks.
