Git v2.47.0 released

• Many Porcelain commands that internally use the merge machinery
  were taught to consistently honor the diff.algorithm configuration.

• A few descriptions in "git show-ref -h" have been clarified.

• A 'P' command to "git add -p" that passes the patch hunk to the
  pager has been added.

• "git grep -W" omits blank lines that follow the found function at
  the end of the file, just like it omits blank lines before the next
  function.

• The value of http.proxy can have "path" at the end for a socks
  proxy that listens to a unix-domain socket, but we started to
  discard it when we taught proxy auth code path to use the
  credential helpers, which has been corrected.

• The code paths to compact multiple reftable files have been updated
  to correctly deal with multiple compaction triggering at the same
  time.

• Support to specify ref backend for submodules has been enhanced.

• "git svn" has been taught about svn:global-ignores property
  recent versions of Subversion has.

• The default object hash and ref backend format used to be settable
  only with explicit command line option to "git init" and
  environment variables, but now they can be configured in the user's
  global and system wide configuration.

• "git send-email" learned "--translate-aliases" option that reads
  addresses from the standard input and emits the result of applying
  aliases on them to the standard output.

• 'git for-each-ref' learned a new "--format" atom to find the branch
  that the history leading to a given commit "%(is-base:

• The command line prompt support used to be littered with bash-isms,
  which has been corrected to work with more shells.

• Support for the RUNTIME_PREFIX feature has been added to z/OS port.

• "git send-email" learned "--mailmap" option to allow rewriting the
  recipient addresses.

• "git mergetool" learned to use VSCode as a merge backend.

• "git pack-redundant" has been marked for removal in Git 3.0.

• One-line messages to "die" and other helper functions will get LF
  added by these helper functions, but many existing messages had an
  unnecessary LF at the end, which have been corrected.

• The "scalar clone" command learned the "--no-tags" option.

• The environment GIT_ADVICE has been intentionally kept undocumented
  to discourage its use by interactive users. Add documentation to
  help tool writers.
