In some situations it is useful to know if the given repository
is a submodule of another repository.

Add the flag --show-superproject-working-tree to git-rev-parse
to make it easy to find out if there is a superproject. When no
superproject exists, the output will be empty.

A "gc.log" file left by a backgrounded "gc --auto" disables further
automatic gc; it has been taught to run at least once a day (by
default) by ignoring a stale "gc.log" file that is too old.

* dt/gc-ignore-old-gc-logs:
  gc: ignore old gc.log files

The command line options for ssh invocation needs to be tweaked for
some implementations of SSH (e.g. PuTTY plink wants "-P <port>"
while OpenSSH wants "-p <port>" to specify port to connect to), and
the variant was guessed when GIT_SSH environment variable is used
to specify it.  The logic to guess now applies to the command
specified by the newer GIT_SSH_COMMAND and also core.sshcommand
configuration variable, and comes with an escape hatch for users to
deal with misdetected cases.

* sf/putty-w-args:
  connect.c: stop conflating ssh command names and overrides
  connect: Add the envvar GIT_SSH_VARIANT and ssh.variant config
  git_connect(): factor out SSH variant handling
  connect: rename tortoiseplink and putty variables
  connect: handle putty/plink also in GIT_SSH_COMMAND

The gitattributes machinery is being taught to work better in a
multi-threaded environment.

  attr: push the bare repo check into read_attr()
  attr: store attribute stack in attr_check structure
  attr: tighten const correctness with git_attr and match_attr
  attr: remove maybe-real, maybe-macro from git_attr

  attr: pass struct attr_check to collect_some_attrs
  attr: retire git_check_attrs() API
  attr: convert git_check_attrs() callers to use the new API
  attr: convert git_all_attrs() to use "struct attr_check"
  attr: (re)introduce git_check_attr() and struct attr_check
  attr: rename function and struct related to checking attributes
  attr.c: outline the future plans by heavily commenting
  Documentation: fix a typo
  attr.c: add push_stack() helper
  attr: support quoting pathname patterns in C style

  attr.c: tighten constness around "git_attr" structure
  ...

  completion: list short refs from a remote given as a URL
  completion: don't list 'HEAD' when trying refs completion outside of a repo
  completion: list refs from remote when remote's name matches a directory
  completion: respect 'git --git-dir=<path>' when listing remote refs
  completion: fix most spots not respecting 'git --git-dir=<path>'
  completion: ensure that the repository path given on the command line exists
  completion tests: add tests for the __git_refs() helper function
  completion tests: check __gitdir()'s output in the error cases
  completion tests: consolidate getting path of current working directory

  ...

The "negative" pathspec feature was somewhat more cumbersome to use
than necessary in that its short-hand used "!" which needed to be
escaped from shells, and it required "exclude from what?" specified.

* lt/pathspec-negative:
  pathspec: don't error out on all-exclusionary pathspec patterns
  pathspec magic: add '^' as alias for '!'

The code to list branches in "git branch" has been consolidated
with the more generic ref-filter API.

* kn/ref-filter-branch-list: (21 commits)
  ref-filter: resurrect "strip" as a synonym to "lstrip"
  branch: implement '--format' option
  branch: use ref-filter printing APIs
  branch, tag: use porcelain output
  ref-filter: allow porcelain to translate messages in the output
  ref-filter: add an 'rstrip=<N>' option to atoms which deal with refnames
  ref-filter: modify the 'lstrip=<N>' option to work with negative '<N>'
  ref-filter: Do not abruptly die when using the 'lstrip=<N>' option

  ...

The <url> part in "http.<url>.<variable>" configuration variable
can now be spelled with '*' that serves as wildcard.
E.g. "http.https://*.example.com.proxy" can be used to specify the
proxy used for https://a.example.com, https://b.example.com, etc.,
i.e. any host in the example.com domain.

* ps/urlmatch-wildcard:
  urlmatch: allow globbing for the URL host part
  urlmatch: include host in urlmatch ranking
  urlmatch: split host and port fields in `struct url_info`
  urlmatch: enable normalization of URLs with globs
  mailmap: add Patrick Steinhardt's work address
