This is an update to the latest upstream release, and includes the
following packages:

- git
- git-cvs
- git-debuginfo
- git-email
- git-gui
- gitk
- git-p4
- git-svn

Key extracts from the changelog:

> UI, Workflows & Features
> ------------------------
>
>  * "git grep" learned to expand the sparse-index more lazily and on
>    demand in a sparse checkout.
>
>  * After checking out a "branch" that is a symbolic-ref that points at
>    another branch, "git symbolic-ref HEAD" reports the underlying
>    branch, not the symbolic-ref the user gave checkout as argument.
>    The command learned the "--no-recurse" option to stop after
>    dereferencing a symbolic-ref only once.
>
>  * "git branch --edit-description @{-1}" is now a way to edit branch
>    description of the branch you were on before switching to the
>    current branch.
>
>  * "git merge-tree --stdin" is a new way to request a series of merges
>    and report the merge results.
>
>  * "git shortlog" learned to group by the "format" string.
>
>  * A new "--include-whitespace" option is added to "git patch-id", and
>    existing bugs in the internal patch-id logic that did not match
>    what "git patch-id" produces have been corrected.
>
>  * Enable gc.cruftpacks by default for those who opt into
>    feature.experimental setting.
>
>  * "git repack" learns to send cruft objects out of the way into
>    packfiles outside the repository.
>
>  * 'scalar reconfigure -a' is taught to automatically remove
>    scalar.repo entires which no longer exist.
>
>  * Redact headers from cURL's h2h3 module in GIT_CURL_VERBOSE and
>    others.
>
>  * 'git maintenance register' is taught to write configuration to an
>    arbitrary path, and 'git for-each-repo' is taught to expand tilde
>    characters in paths.
>
>  * When creating new notes, the template used to get a stray empty
>    newline, which has been removed.
>
>  * "git receive-pack" used to use all the local refs as the boundary for
>    checking connectivity of the data "git push" sent, but now it uses
>    only the refs that it advertised to the pusher. In a repository with
>    the .hideRefs configuration, this reduces the resources needed to
>    perform the check.
>
>  * With '--recurse-submodules=on-demand', all submodules are
>    recursively pushed.
