The native Windows HTTPS backend is based on Secure Channel which lets
the caller decide how to handle revocation checking problems caused by
missing information in the certificate or offline CRL distribution
points.
Unfortunately, cURL chose to handle these problems differently than
OpenSSL by default: while OpenSSL happily ignores those problems
(essentially saying "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"), the Secure Channel backend will error
out instead.
As a remedy, the "no revoke" mode was introduced, which turns off
revocation checking altogether. This is a bit heavy-handed. We support
this via the `http.schannelCheckRevoke` setting.
In https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4981, we contributed an opt-in
"best effort" strategy that emulates what OpenSSL seems to do.
In Git for Windows, we actually want this to be the default. This patch
makes it so, introducing it as a new value for the
`http.schannelCheckRevoke" setting, which now becmes a tristate: it
accepts the values "false", "true" or "best-effort" (defaulting to the
last one).

Since commit 0c499ea60f (send-pack: demultiplex a sideband stream with
status data, 2010-02-05) the send-pack builtin uses the side-band-64k
capability if advertised by the server.
Unfortunately this breaks pushing over the dump git protocol if used
over a network connection.
The detailed reasons for this breakage are (by courtesy of Jeff Preshing,
quoted from https://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/at8D7J-h7mw/eaLujILGUWoJ):
MinGW wraps Windows sockets in CRT file descriptors in order to
mimic the functionality of POSIX sockets. This causes msvcrt.dll
to treat sockets as Installable File System (IFS) handles,
calling ReadFile, WriteFile, DuplicateHandle and CloseHandle on
them. This approach works well in simple cases on recent
versions of Windows, but does not support all usage patterns. In
particular, using this approach, any attempt to read & write
concurrently on the same socket (from one or more processes)
will deadlock in a scenario where the read waits for a response
from the server which is only invoked after the write. This is
what send_pack currently attempts to do in the use_sideband
codepath.
The new config option `sendpack.sideband` allows to override the
side-band-64k capability of the server, and thus makes the dumb git
protocol work.
Other transportation methods like ssh and http/https still benefit from
the sideband channel, therefore the default value of `sendpack.sideband`
is still true.

There are many places in git-config(1) where paragraphs that should
logically come after a list are instead appended to the last item of

"--max-count" is a commit limiting option and sets a maximum amount
of commits to be shown. If a user wants to see only the first N
commits of the history (the oldest commits) they'd have to do
something like
git log $(git rev-list HEAD | tail -n N | head -n 1)
This is not very user-friendly.

The Git internal date format `<unix-timestamp> <time-zone-offset>`
fails to parse when the timestamp is less than 100,000,000 (fewer than
9 digits). This happens to avoid potential ambiguity with other date
formats such as `YYYYMMDD`, especially when used with approxidate.
To force the parser to interpret the value as a raw timestamp, it must
be prefixed with `@` (e.g., `@0 +0000`). This behavior was introduced
in 2c733fb24c (parse_date(): '@' prefix
forces git-timestamp, 2012-02-02) but was never documented.
Document the `@` prefix in `Documentation/date-formats.adoc` to make
this behavior explicit. Also add test cases to `t/t0006-date.sh` to
verify and demonstrate the difference between prefixed and unprefixed
small timestamps (e.g., `@2000` vs `2000`).

Now that -L flows through log_tree_diff_flush() and diff_flush(),
metadata-only diff formats work because they only read filepair
fields (status, mode, path, oid) already set on the pre-computed
pairs.
Expand the allowlist in setup_revisions() to also accept --raw,
--name-only, --name-status, and --summary. Diff stat formats
(--stat, --numstat, --shortstat, --dirstat) remain blocked because
they call compute_diffstat() on full blob content and would show
whole-file statistics rather than range-scoped ones.
