Teach git-describe the `--exclude` option which will allow specifying
a glob pattern of tags to ignore. This can be combined with the
`--match` patterns to enable more flexibility in determining which tags
to consider.
For example, suppose you wish to find the first official release tag
that contains a certain commit. If we assume that official release tags
are of the form "v*" and pre-release candidates include "*rc*" in their
name, we can now find the first release tag that introduces the commit
abcdef:
git describe --contains --match="v*" --exclude="*rc*" abcdef

Teach `--match` to be accepted multiple times, accumulating a list of
patterns to match into a string list. Each pattern is inclusive, such
that a tag need only match one of the provided patterns to be
considered for matching.
This extension is useful as it enables more flexibility in what tags
match, and may avoid the need to run the describe command multiple
times to get the same result.
Add tests and update the documentation for this change.

Extend git-name-rev to support excluding refs which match shell patterns
using --exclude. These patterns can be used to limit the scope of refs
by excluding any ref that matches one of the --exclude patterns. A ref
will only be used for naming when it matches at least one --refs pattern
but does not match any of the --exclude patterns. Thus, --exclude
patterns are given precedence over --refs patterns.
For example, suppose you wish to name a series of commits based on an
official release tag of the form "v*" but excluding any pre-release tags
which match "*rc*". You can use the following to do so:
git name-rev --refs="v*" --exclude="*rc*" --all

Teach git name-rev to take multiple --refs stored as a string list of
patterns. The list of patterns will be matched inclusively, and each ref
only needs to match one pattern to be included. A ref will only be
excluded if it does not match any of the given patterns. Additionally,
if any of the patterns would allow abbreviation, then we will abbreviate
the ref, even if another pattern is more strict and would not have
allowed abbreviation on its own.
Add tests and documentation for this change. The tests expected output
is dynamically generated. This is in order to avoid hard-coding
a commit object name in the test results (as the expected output is to
simply leave the commit object unnamed).

Commit c8ba163916 ("parse-options: add OPT_STRING_LIST helper",

l10n-2.11.0-rnd3.1: update ru and ca translations
* tag 'l10n-2.11.0-rnd3.1' of git://github.com/git-l10n/git-po:

Since 650c44925 (common-main: call git_extract_argv0_path(),
2016-07-01), the argv[0] that is seen in cmd_main() of
individual programs is always the basename of the
executable, as common-main strips off the full path. This
can produce confusing results for git-daemon, which wants to
re-exec itself.
For instance, if the program was originally run as
"/usr/lib/git/git-daemon", it will try just re-execing
"git-daemon", which will find the first instance in $PATH.
If git's exec-path has not been prepended to $PATH, we may
find the git-daemon from a different version (or no
git-daemon at all).
Normally this isn't a problem. Git commands are run as "git
daemon", the git wrapper puts the exec-path at the front of
$PATH, and argv[0] is already "daemon" anyway. But running
git-daemon via its full exec-path, while not really a
recommended method, did work prior to 650c44925. Let's make
it work again.
The real goal of 650c44925 was not to munge argv[0], but to
reliably set the argv0_path global. The only reason it
munges at all is that one caller, the git.c wrapper,
piggy-backed on that computation to find the command
basename. Instead, let's leave argv[0] untouched in
common-main, and have git.c do its own basename computation.
While we're at it, let's drop the return value from
git_extract_argv0_path(). It was only ever used in this one
callsite, and its dual purposes is what led to this
confusion in the first place.
Note that by changing the interface, the compiler can
confirm for us that there are no other callers storing the
return value. But the compiler can't tell us whether any of
the cmd_main() functions (besides git.c) were relying on the
basename munging. However, we can observe that prior to
650c44925, no other cmd_main() functions did that munging,
and no new cmd_main() functions have been introduced since
then. So we can't be regressing any of those cases.

non-trailer lines in trailer blocks, as long as those blocks contain at
least one Git-generated or user-configured trailer, and consists of at
least 25% trailers. The documentation was updated to mention this new
functionality, but did not mention "user-configured trailer".
Further update the documentation to also mention "user-configured
trailer".

selection, 2014-05-17) extended the core.commentChar functionality to
allow for the value 'auto', it forgot that rebase -i was already taught to
handle core.commentChar, and in turn forgot to let rebase -i handle that
new value gracefully.

The way "git stripspace" reads the configuration was not quite
kosher, in that the code forgot to probe for a possibly existing
repository (note: stripspace is designed to be usable outside the
repository as well). It read .git/config only when it was run from
the top-level of the working tree by accident. A recent change
b9605bc4f2 ("config: only read .git/config from configured repos",
2016-09-12) stopped reading the repository-local configuration file
".git/config" unless the repository discovery process is done, so
that .git/config is never read even when run from the top-level,
exposing the old bug more.
When rebasing interactively with a commentChar defined in the
