Log Message:
Changes 1.7.10.2:
* The test scaffolding for git-daemon was flaky.
* The test scaffolding for fast-import was flaky.
* The filesystem boundary was not correctly reported when .git directory
  discovery stopped at a mount point.
* HTTP transport that requires authentication did not work correctly when
  multiple connections are used simultaneously.
* Minor memory leak during unpack_trees (hence "merge" and "checkout"
  to check out another branch) has been plugged.
* In the older days, the header "Conflicts:" in "cherry-pick" and "merge"
  was separated by a blank line from the list of paths that follow for
  readability, but when "merge" was rewritten in C, we lost it by
  mistake. Remove the newline from "cherry-pick" to make them match
  again.
* The command line parser choked "git cherry-pick $name" when $name can
  be both revision name and a pathname, even though $name can never be a
  path in the context of the command.
* The "include.path" facility in the configuration mechanism added in
  1.7.10 forgot to interpret "~/path" and "~user/path" as it should.
* "git config --rename-section" to rename an existing section into a
  bogus one did not check the new name.
* The "diff --no-index" codepath used limited-length buffers, risking
  pathnames getting truncated.  Update it to use the strbuf API.
* The report from "git fetch" said "new branch" even for a non branch
  ref.
* The http-backend (the server side of the smart http transfer) used
  to overwrite GIT_COMMITTER_NAME and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL with the
  value obtained from REMOTE_USER unconditionally, making it
  impossible for the server side site-specific customization to use
  different identity sources to affect the names logged. It now uses
  REMOTE_USER only as a fallback value.
* "log --graph" was not very friendly with "--stat" option and its
  output had line breaks at wrong places.
* Octopus merge strategy did not reduce heads that are recorded in the
  final commit correctly.
* "git push" over smart-http lost progress output a few releases ago;
  this release resurrects it.
* The error and advice messages given by "git push" when it fails due
  to non-ff were not very helpful to new users; it has been broken
  into three cases, and each is given a separate advice message.
* The insn sheet given by "rebase -i" did not make it clear that the
  insn lines can be re-ordered to affect the order of the commits in
  the resulting history.
* "git repack" used to write out unreachable objects as loose objects
  when repacking, even if such loose objects will immediately pruned
  due to its age.
* A contrib script "rerere-train" did not work out of the box unless
  user futzed with her $PATH.
* "git rev-parse --show-prefix" used to emit nothing when run at the
  top-level of the working tree, but now it gives a blank line.
* The i18n of error message "git stash save" was not properly done.
* "git submodule" used a sed script that some platforms mishandled.
* When using a Perl script on a system where "perl" found on user's
  $PATH could be ancient or otherwise broken, we allow builders to
  specify the path to a good copy of Perl with $PERL_PATH.  The
  gitweb test forgot to use that Perl when running its test.
