* "git blame" learned "--abbrev[=<n>]" option to control the minimum
number of hexdigits shown for commit object names.

* Aborting "git commit --interactive" discards updates to the index
made during the interctive session.

* "git commit" learned a "--patch" option to directly jump to the
per-hunk selection UI of the interactive mode.

* "git diff -C -C" used to disable the rename detection entirely when
there are too many copy candidate paths in the tree; now it falls
back to "-C" when doing so would keep the copy candidate paths

* "git merge" learned "-" as a short-hand for "the previous branch", just
like the way "git checkout -" works.

* "git merge" uses "merge.ff" configuration variable to decide to always
create a merge commit (i.e. --no-ff, aka merge.ff=no), refuse to create
a merge commit (i.e. --ff-only, aka merge.ff=only). Setting merge.ff=yes
(or not setting it at all) restores the default behaviour of allowing
fast-forward to happen when possible.

* "git rebase" that does not specify on top of which branch to rebase
the current branch now uses @{upstream} of the current branch.

Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes in 1.7.5.X maintenance track are
included in this release.

* "git add -p" did not work correctly when a hunk is split and then
one of them was given to the editor.
(merge jc/maint-add-p-overlapping-hunks later)
* Setting $(prefix) in config.mak did not affect where etc/gitconfig
file is read from, even though passing it from the command line of
$(MAKE) did.
(merge kk/maint-prefix-in-config-mak later)

* "git add -u" did not resolve a conflict where our history deleted and
their history modified the same file, and the working tree resolved to
keep a file.
(merge jc/fix-add-u-unmerged later)
* The bash completion scripts should correctly work using zsh's bash
completion emulation layer now.
(merge either fc/completion-zsh later)

* "git config" used to choke with an insanely long line.
(merge ef/maint-strbuf-init later)

* In "git merge", per-branch branch.<name>.mergeoptions configuration
variables did not override the fallback default merge.<option>
configuration variables such as merge.ff, merge.log, etc.
(merge jc/maint-branch-mergeoptions later)

* "git send-pack" (hence "git push") over smalt-HTTP protocol could
deadlock when the client side pack-object died early.
(merge js/maint-send-pack-stateless-rpc-deadlock-fix later)
