size that can be expressed in size_t, which can be larger than
ulong on some platforms.
+ * "git rebase" learns "--signoff" option.

+ * The completion script (in contrib/) learned to complete "git push
+ --delete b<TAB>" to complete branch name to be deleted.
+
+ * "git worktree add --lock" allows to lock a worktree immediately
+ after it's created. This helps prevent a race between "git worktree
+ add; git worktree lock" and "git worktree prune".
+
+ * Completion for "git checkout <branch>" that auto-creates the branch
+ out of a remote tracking branch can now be disabled, as this
+ completion often gets in the way when completing to checkout an
+ existing local branch that happens to share the same prefix with
+ bunch of remote tracking branches.

file is used. Omit the validation during normal use, and instead
verify only in "git fsck".
+ * Having a git command on the upstream side of a pipe in a test
+ script will hide the exit status from the command, which may cause
+ us to fail to notice a breakage; rewrite tests in a script to avoid
+ this issue.
+
+ * Travis CI learns to run coccicheck.
+
+ * "git checkout" that handles a lot of paths has been optimized by
+ reducing the number of unnecessary checks of paths in the
+ has_dir_name() function.
+
+ * The internals of the refs API around the cached refs has been
+ streamlined.
+
+ * Output from perf tests have been updated to align their titles.

+ * A recent update broke "git add -p ../foo" from a subdirectory.
+
+ * While handy, "git_path()" is a dangerous function to use as a
+ callsite that uses it safely one day can be broken by changes
+ to other code that calls it. Reduction of its use continues.

+ * The split-index code configuration code used an unsafe git_path()
+ function without copying its result out.
+
+ * Many stale HTTP(s) links have been updated in our documentation.
+ (merge 613416f0be jk/update-links-in-docs later to maint).
+
+ * "git-shell" rejects a request to serve a repository whose name
+ begins with a dash, which makes it no longer possible to get it
+ confused into spawning service programs like "git-upload-pack" with
+ an option like "--help", which in turn would spawn an interactive
+ pager, instead of working with the repository user asked to access
+ (i.e. the one whose name is "--help").
