Merge branch 'ss/svn-prompt' into maint

The way "git svn" asked for password using SSH_ASKPASS and
GIT_ASKPASS was not in line with the rest of the system.

* ss/svn-prompt:
  git-svn, perl/Git.pm: extend and use Git->prompt method for querying users
  perl/Git.pm: Honor SSH_ASKPASS as fallback if GIT_ASKPASS is not set
  git-svn, perl/Git.pm: add central method for prompting passwords
Merge branch 'jc/fetch-ignore-symref' into maint

"git fetch --mirror" and fetch that uses other forms of refspec with
wildcard used to attempt to update a symbolic ref that match the
wildcard on the receiving end, which made little sense (the real ref
that is pointed at by the symbolic ref would be updated anyway).

Symbolic refs no longer are affected by such a fetch.

* jc/fetch-ignore-symref:
  fetch: ignore wildcarded refspecs that update local symbolic refs
Merge branch 'ja/directory-attrs' into maint

The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be

Merge branch 'jn/warn-on-inaccessible-loosen' into maint

When attempting to read the XDG-style $HOME/.config/git/config and
finding that $HOME/.config/git is a file, we gave a wrong error
message, instead of treating the case as "a custom config file does
not exist there" and moving on.

* jn/warn-on-inaccessible-loosen:
  config: exit on error accessing any config file
  doc: advertise GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM
  config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors

Merge branch 'jn/less-reconfigure' into maint

When autoconf is used, any build on a different commit always ran
"config.status --recheck" even when unnecessary.

* jn/less-reconfigure:
  build: do not automatically reconfigure unless configure.ac changed
Merge branch 'os/gitweb-highlight-uncaptured' into maint

"gitweb", when sorting by age to show repositories with new

Merge branch 'ap/merge-stop-at-prepare-commit-msg-failure' into maint

"git merge" started calling prepare-commit-msg hook like "git
commit" does some time ago, but forgot to pay attention to the exit
status of the hook.

* ap/merge-stop-at-prepare-commit-msg-failure:
  merge: Honor prepare-commit-msg return code
Merge branch 'jk/enable-test-lint-by-default' into maint

submitter to keep separate copies for iterations.

  format-patch: give --reroll-count a short synonym -v
  format-patch: document and test --reroll-count
  format-patch: add --reroll-count=$N option

Improve compatibility of our zip output to fill uncompressed size
in the header, which we can do without seeking back (even though it
should not be necessary).
