This was fixed by reacting to + ECONNRESET and behaving as if we got an EOF. + + * "git log --tag=no-such-tag" showed log starting from HEAD, which + has been fixed---it now shows nothing. + + * The "tag.pager" configuration variable was useless for those who + actually create tag objects, as it interfered with the use of an + editor.

The command has been taught to instead use + the locally modified contents. + + * bash 4.4 or newer gave a warning on NUL byte in command + substitution done in "git stash"; this has been squelched. + + * "git grep -L" and "git grep --quiet -L" reported different exit + codes; this has been corrected. + + * When handshake with a subprocess filter notices that the process + asked for an unknown capability, Git did not report what program + the offending subprocess was running. This has been corrected. + + * "git apply" that is used as a better "patch -p1" failed to apply a + taken from a file with CRLF line endings to a file with CRLF line + endings. The root cause was because it misused convert_to_git() + that tried to do "safe-crlf" processing by looking at the index + entry at the same path, which is a nonsense---in that mode, "apply" + is not working on the data in (or derived from) the index at all. + This has been fixed. + + * Killing "git merge --edit" before the editor returns control left + the repository in a state with MERGE_MSG but without MERGE_HEAD, + which incorrectly tells the subsequent "git commit" that there was + a squash merge in progress.
