The "structure" output for git-repo(1) shows the total inflated and disk
sizes of reachable objects in the repository, but doesn't show the size
of the largest individual objects. Since an individual object may be a
large contributor to the overall repository size, it is useful for users
to know the maximum size of individual objects.
While interating across objects, record the size and OID of the largest
objects encountered for each object type to provide as output. Note that
the default "table" output format only displays size information and not
the corresponding OID. In a subsequent commit, the table format is
updated to add table annotations that mention the OID.

For SMTP servers that do "mutual certificate verification", the mail
client is required to present its own TLS certificate as well. This
patch adds --smtp-ssl-client-cert and --smtp-ssl-client-key for such
servers.
The problem of which private key for the certificate is chosen arises
when there are private keys in both the certificate and private key
file. According to the documentation of IO::Socket::SSL(link supplied),
the behaviour(the private key chosen) depends on the format of the
certificate. In a nutshell,
- PKCS12: the key in the cert always takes the precedence
- PEM: if the key file is not given, it will "try" to read one
from the cert PEM file
Many users may find this discrepancy unintuitive.
In terms of client certificate, git-send-email is implemented in a way
that what's possible with perl's SSL library is exposed to the user as
much as possible. In this instance, the user may choose to use a PEM
file that contains both certificate and private key should be
at their discretion despite the implications.

Add a new configuration variable status.compareBranches that allows
users to specify a space-separated list of branch comparisons in
git status output.
Supported values:
- @{upstream} for the current branch's upstream tracking branch
- @{push} for the current branch's push destination
Any other value is ignored and a warning is shown.
When not configured, the default behavior is equivalent to setting
`status.compareBranches = @{upstream}`, preserving backward
compatibility.
The advice messages shown are context-aware:
- "git pull" advice is shown only when comparing against @{upstream}
- "git push" advice is shown only when comparing against @{push}
- Divergence advice is shown for upstream branch comparisons
This is useful for triangular workflows where the upstream tracking
branch differs from the push destination, allowing users to see their
status relative to both branches at once.
Example configuration:
[status]
compareBranches = @{upstream} @{push}
