+ * Lifts calls to exit(2) and die() higher in the callchain in
+ sequencer.c files so that more helper functions in it can be used
+ by callers that want to handle error conditions themselves.
+
+ * "git am" has been taught to make an internal call to "git apply"'s
+ innards without spawning the latter as a separate process.
+
+ * The ref-store abstraction was introduced to the refs API so that we
+ can plug in different backends to store references.
+
+ * The "unsigned char sha1[20]" to "struct object_id" conversion
+ continues. Notable changes in this round includes that ce->sha1,
+ i.e. the object name recorded in the cache_entry, turns into an
+ object_id.

Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.

+ * "git pack-objects --include-tag" was taught that when we know that
+ we are sending an object C, we want a tag B that directly points at
+ C but also a tag A that points at the tag B. We used to miss the
+ intermediate tag B in some cases.
