The latest maintenance release Git v2.30.1 is now available at the
usual places. This is to propagate obvious fixes that have
accumulated on the 'master' front down to the 2.30.x series.

Git v2.30.1 Release Notes
=========================
This release is primarily to merge fixes accumulated on the 'master'
front to prepare for 2.31 release that are still relevant to 2.30.x
maintenance track.
Fixes since v2.30
-----------------
* "git fetch --recurse-submodules" failed to update a submodule
when it has an uninitialized (hence of no interest to the user)
sub-submodule, which has been corrected.
* Command line error of "git rebase" are diagnosed earlier.
* "git stash" did not work well in a sparsely checked out working
tree.
* Some tests expect that "ls -l" output has either '-' or 'x' for
group executable bit, but setgid bit can be inherited from parent
directory and make these fields 'S' or 's' instead, causing test
failures.
* "git for-each-repo --config=<var> <cmd>" should not run <cmd> for
any repository when the configuration variable <var> is not defined
even once.
* "git mergetool --tool-help" was broken in 2.29 and failed to list
all the available tools.
* Fix for procedure to building CI test environment for mac.
* Newline characters in the host and path part of git:// URL are
now forbidden.
* When more than one commit with the same patch ID appears on one
side, "git log --cherry-pick A...B" did not exclude them all when a
commit with the same patch ID appears on the other side. Now it
does.
* Documentation for "git fsck" lost stale bits that has become
incorrect.
* Doc for packfile URI feature has been clarified.
* The implementation of "git branch --sort" wrt the detached HEAD
display has always been hacky, which has been cleaned up.
* Our setting of GitHub CI test jobs were a bit too eager to give up
once there is even one failure found. Tweak the knob to allow
other jobs keep running even when we see a failure, so that we can
find more failures in a single run.
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
