UI, Workflows & Features

* Having multiple "fixup!" on a line in the rebase instruction sheet
did not work very well with "git rebase -i --autosquash".

* "git log" learned the "--author-date-order" option, with which the
output is topologically sorted and commits in parallel histories
are shown intermixed together based on the author timestamp.

* Various subcommands of "git submodule" refused to run from anywhere
other than the top of the working tree of the superproject, but
they have been taught to let you run from a subdirectory.

* The original way to specify remote repository using .git/branches/
used to have a nifty feature. The code to support the feature was
still in a function but the caller was changed not to call it 5
years ago, breaking that feature and leaving the supporting code
unreachable. The dead code has been removed.

* "git pack-refs" that races with new ref creation or deletion have
been susceptible to lossage of refs under right conditions, which
has been tightened up.

details).

* The configuration variable column.ui was poorly documented.
(merge 5e62cc1 rr/column-doc later to maint).

* "git name-rev --refs=tags/v*" were forbidden, which was a bit
inconvenient (you had to give a pattern to match refs fully, like
--refs=refs/tags/v*).
