"git status" honored the ignore=dirty settings in .gitmodules but "git commit" didn't. * os/commit-submodule-ignore: commit: pay attention to submodule.$name.ignore in .gitmodules
"git receive-pack" (the counterpart to "git push") did not give progress output while processing objects it received to the puser when run over the smart-http protocol. * jk/receive-pack-unpack-error-to-pusher: receive-pack: drop "n/a" on unpacker errors receive-pack: send pack-processing stderr over sideband receive-pack: redirect unpack-objects stdout to /dev/null
A repository created with "git clone --single" had its fetch refspecs set up just like a clone without "--single", leading the subsequent "git fetch" to slurp all the other branches, defeating the whole point of specifying "only this branch". * rt/maint-clone-single: clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branch
It was unclear in the documentation for "git blame" that it is unnecessary for users to use the "--follow" option. * jc/blame-follows-renames: git blame: document that it always follows origin across whole-file renames
A patch attached as application/octet-stream (e.g. not text/*) were mishandled, not correctly honoring Content-Transfer-Encoding (e.g. base64). * lt/mailinfo-handle-attachment-more-sanely: mailinfo: don't require "text" mime type for attachments

"git submodule frotz" was not diagnosed as "frotz" being an unknown subcommand to "git submodule"; the user instead got a complaint that "git submodule status" was run with an unknown path "frotz". * rr/maint-submodule-unknown-cmd: submodule: if $command was not matched, don't parse other args
"git fetch" over http advertised that it supports "deflate", which is much less common, and did not advertise more common "gzip" on its Accept-Encoding header. * sp/maint-http-enable-gzip: Enable info/refs gzip decompression in HTTP client
"git fetch" over http had an old workaround for an unlikely server misconfiguration; it turns out that this hurts debuggability of the configuration in general, and has been reverted. * sp/maint-http-info-refs-no-retry: Revert "retry request without query when info/refs?query fails"
