Features
- Add constants for parsing git wire protocol version
- 514052 Add support for reading symrefs from pack capabilities
- 568038 Allow to resolve a conflict by checking out a file
- Implement git describe --all
- Override config http.userAgent from environment GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT
- 541500 Support "http.userAgent" and "http.extraHeader" from the git config
- sshd: support the ProxyJump ssh config. This is useful to access git repositories behind a bastion server (jump host).
Monitoring & Logging
- Add new performance logging to register events of type duration. The proposed logging is similar to the performance logging in Gerrit: a global Singleton is collecting the performance logs in a thread-safe events list, and at the end of the monitored command the list of events is retrieved and written to a log, after which it is cleared.
- Measure time taken for reachability checks
- Measure time taken for negotiation in protocol V2
- 567309 Add TypedConfigGetter.getPath(). This enables EGit to override with a lenient variant that logs the problem and continues with the default value.
- ReceivePackStats: Add size and count of unnecessary pushed objects
- GC#deleteOrphans: log warning for deleted orphaned files

- Fix IOException occurring during gc
- Close Repository to fix tests failing on Windows
