Bugfixes
-
git-add and git-update-index on a filesystem on which executable bits are unreliable incorrectly reused st_mode bits even when the path changed between symlink and regular file.
-
git-daemon marks the listening sockets with FD_CLOEXEC so that it won’t be leaked into the children.
-
segfault from git-blame when the mandatory pathname parameter was missing was fixed; usage() message is given instead.
-
git-rev-list did not read $GIT_DIR/config file, which means that did not honor i18n.logoutputencoding correctly.

Tweaks
-
sliding mmap() inefficiently mmaped the same region of a packfile with an access pattern that used objects in the reverse order. This has been made more efficient.
