* "git p4" used a location outside $GIT_DIR/refs/ to place its
temporary branches, which has been moved to refs/git-p4-tmp/.
+ * Existing autoconf generated test for the need to link with pthread
+ library did not check all the functions from pthread libraries;
+ recent FreeBSD has some functions in libc but not others, and we
+ mistakenly thought linking with libc is enough when it is not.
+ (merge a9b02de ew/autoconf-pthread later to maint).
+
+ * When "git fsck" reports a broken link (e.g. a tree object contains
+ a blob that does not exist), both containing object and the object
+ that is referred to were reported with their 40-hex object names.
+ The command learned the "--name-objects" option to show the path to
+ the containing object from existing refs (e.g. "HEAD~24^2:file.txt").
+
+ * Allow http daemon tests in Travis CI tests.
+ (merge d9d1426 ls/travis-enable-httpd-tests later to maint).
+
+ * Makefile assumed that -lrt is always available on platforms that
+ want to use clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, which is not a
+ case for recent Mac OS X. The necessary symbols are often found in
+ libc on many modern systems and having -lrt on the command line, as
+ long as the library exists, had no effect, but when the platform
+ removes librt.a that is a different matter--having -lrt will break
+ the linkage.
+
+ This change could be seen as a regression for those who do need to
+ specify -lrt, as they now specifically ask for NEEDS_LIBRT when
+ building. Hopefully they are in the minority these days.
+
+ * Further preparatory work on the refs API before the pluggable
+ backend series can land.
+
+ * Error handling in the codepaths that updates refs has been
+ improved.
+
+ * The API to iterate over all the refs (i.e. for_each_ref(), etc.)
+ has been revamped.

+ * "git blame file" allowed the lineage of lines in the uncommitted,
+ unadded contents of "file" to be inspected, but it refused when
+ "file" did not appear in the current commit. When "file" was
+ created by renaming an existing file (but the change has not been
+ committed), this restriction was unnecessarily tight.
+ (merge c66b470 mh/blame-worktree later to maint).

+ "file".

+ * The use of strbuf in "git rm" to build filename to remove was a bit
+ suboptimal, which has been fixed.

+ * An age old bug that caused "git diff --ignore-space-at-eol"
+ misbehave has been fixed.
