Please sync git 1:2.8.0~rc3-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  * SECURITY UPDATE: New upstream release to fix denial of service or possible
    remote code execution (LP: #1557787)
    + CVE-2016-2324
    + The previous upload only fixed one of the two security issues and 2.7.4
      is needed to address the second
  * New upstream release, with critical security bugfixes (LP: #1557787)

Included in new release.

Changelog entries since current xenial version 1:2.7.4-0ubuntu1:

git (1:2.8.0~rc3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * new upstream release candidate (see RelNotes/2.8.0.txt).
    * harden against on-stack and on-heap buffer overflows (CVE-2016-2324,
      CVE-2016-2315; closes: #818318).
  * debian/git.docs: update for README -> README.md renaming.
