* git-remote-mw (in contrib/) hints users to check the certificate,

UI, Workflows & Features

* "git cat-file --batch-check=<format>" is added, primarily to allow
on-disk footprint of objects in packfiles (often they are a lot
smaller than their true size, when expressed as deltas) to be
reported.

* "git rebase [-i]" used to leave just "rebase" as its reflog messages
for some operations. They have been reworded to be more informative.

* In addition to the choice from "rebase, merge, or checkout-detach",
"submodule update" can allow a custom command to be used in to
update the working tree of submodules via the "submodule.*.update"

did not reject overlong and invalid UTF-8 characters.
(merge 81050ac bc/commit-invalid-utf8 later to maint).

* Pass port number as a separate argument when "send-email" initializes
Net::SMTP, instead of as a part of the hostname, i.e. host:port.
This allows GSSAPI codepath to match with the hostname given.
