However, the patch was not stripped correctly when the\n   first modified path was a submodule.\n\n * \"git mv A B/\", when B does not exist as a directory, should error\n   out, but it didn't.\n\n * When we figure out how many file descriptors to allocate for\n   keeping packfiles open, a system with non-working getrlimit() could\n   cause us to die(), but because we make this call only to get a\n   rough estimate of how many is available and we do not even attempt\n   to use up all file descriptors available ourselves, it is nicer to\n   fall back to a reasonable low value rather than dying.\n\n * \"git log --decorate\" did not handle a tag pointed by another tag\n   nicely.\n\n * \"git add -A\" (no other arguments) in a totally empty working tree\n   used to emit an error.\n\n * There is no reason to have a hardcoded upper limit of the number of\n   parents for an octopus merge, created via the graft mechanism, but\n   there was.\n\n * The implementation of 'git stash $cmd \"stash@{...}\"' did not quote\n   the stash argument properly and left it split at IFS whitespace.\n\n * The documentation to \"git pull\" hinted there is an \"-m\" option\n   because it incorrectly shared the documentation with \"git merge\".\n\nAlso contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v1.8.5.3 are as follows:\n\nJens Lehmann (1):\n      commit -v: strip diffs and submodule shortlogs from the commit message\n\nJohannes Schindelin (1):\n      Remove the line length limit for graft files\n\nJohannes Sixt (2):\n      git_connect: remove artificial limit of a remote command\n      git_connect: factor out discovery of the protocol and its parts\n\nJunio C Hamano (4):\n      get_max_fd_limit(): fall back to OPEN_MAX upon getrlimit/sysconf failure\n      Documentation: exclude irrelevant options from \"git pull\"\n      Documentation: \"git pull\" does not have the \"-m\" option\n      Git 1.8.5.4\n\nNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (2):\n      clone,fetch: catch non positive --depth option value\n      add: don't complain when adding empty project root\n\nRoman Kagan (1):\n      git-svn: workaround for a bug in svn serf backend\n\nThomas Rast (3):\n      send-email: pass Debug to Net::SMTP::SSL::new\n      send-email: --smtp-ssl-cert-path takes an argument\n      send-email: set SSL options through IO::Socket::SSL::set_client_defaults\n\nTorsten Bögershausen (8):\n      t5601: remove clear_ssh, refactor setup_ssh_wrapper\n      t5601: add tests for ssh\n      git fetch-pack: add --diag-url\n      t5500: add test cases for diag-url\n      git fetch: support host:/~repo\n      git_connect(): refactor the port handling for ssh\n      connect.c: refactor url parsing\n      git_connect(): use common return point\n\nbrian m. carlson (1):\n      log: properly handle decorations with chained tags\n\nØystein Walle (1):\n      stash: handle specifying stashes with $IFS\n"}]}
