2.3.5

Git v2.3.5 Release Notes ========================

Fixes since v2.3.4 ------------------

• The prompt script (in contrib/) did not show the untracked sign when working in a subdirectory without any untracked files.

• Even though "git grep --quiet" is run merely to ask for the exit status, we spawned the pager regardless. Stop doing that.

• Recommend format-patch and send-email for those who want to submit patches to this project.

• An failure early in the "git clone" that started creating the working tree and repository could have resulted in some directories and files left without getting cleaned up.

• "git fetch" that fetches a commit using the allow-tip-sha1-in-want extension could have failed to fetch all the requested refs.

• The split-index mode introduced at v2.3.0-rc0~41 was broken in the codepath to protect us against a broken reimplementation of Git that writes an invalid index with duplicated index entries, etc.

• "git prune" used to largely ignore broken refs when deciding which objects are still being used, which could spread an existing small damage and make it a larger one.

• "git tag -h" used to show the "--column" and "--sort" options that are about listing in a wrong section.

• The transfer.hiderefs support did not quite work for smart-http transport.

• The code that reads from the ctags file in the completion script (in contrib/) did not spell ${param/pattern/string} substitution correctly, which happened to work with bash but not with zsh.

• The explanation on "rebase --preserve-merges", "pull --rebase=preserve", and "push --force-with-lease" in the documentation was unclear.

Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
