* The code to show args with potential typo that cannot be
interpreted as a commit-ish has been improved.
+ * "git clone --recurse-submodules" learned to set up the submodules
+ to ignore commit object names recorded in the superproject gitlink
+ and instead use the commits that happen to be at the tip of the
+ remote-tracking branches from the get-go, by passing the new
+ "--remote-submodules" option.
+
+ * The pattern "git diff/grep" use to extract funcname and words
+ boundary for Matlab has been extend to cover Octave, which is more
+ or less equivalent.
+
+ * "git help git" was hard to discover (well, at least for some
+ people).
+
+ * The pattern "git diff/grep" use to extract funcname and words
+ boundary for Rust has been added.

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
which is the more recent GCC uses. Those who need to build with an
old GCC can still use "CC_LD_DYNPATH=-R"
+ * Prepare use of reachability index in topological walker that works
+ on a range (A..B).
+
+ * A new tutorial targetting specifically aspiring git-core
+ developers has been added.

Fixes since v2.22
-----------------
one (i.e. fast-forward instead), but did not. Which has been
corrected.
+ * Code cleanup and futureproof.
+ (merge 31f5256c82 ds/object-info-for-prefetch-fix later to maint).
+
+ * More parameter validation.
+ (merge de99eb0c24 es/grep-require-name-when-needed later to maint).
+
+ * "git update-server-info" used to leave stale packfiles in its
+ output, which has been corrected.
+ (merge e941c48d49 ew/server-info-remove-crufts later to maint).
+
+ * The server side support for "git fetch" used to show incorrect
+ value for the HEAD symbolic ref when the namespace feature is in
+ use, which has been corrected.
+ (merge 533e088250 jk/HEAD-symref-in-xfer-namespaces later to maint).
+
+ * "git am -i --resolved" segfaulted after trying to see a commit as
+ if it were a tree, which has been corrected.
+ (merge 7663e438c5 jk/am-i-resolved-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git bundle verify" needs to see if prerequisite objects exist in
+ the receiving repository, but the command did not check if we are
+ in a repository upfront, which has been corrected.
+ (merge 3bbbe467f2 js/bundle-verify-require-object-store later to maint).
+
+ * "git merge --squash" is designed to update the working tree and the
+ index without creating the commit, and this cannot be countermanded
+ by adding the "--commit" option; the command now refuses to work
+ when both options are given.
+ (merge 1d14d0c994 vv/merge-squash-with-explicit-commit later to maint).
+
+ * The data collected by fsmonitor was not properly written back to
+ the on-disk index file, breaking t7519 tests occasionally, which
+ has been corrected.
+ (merge b5a8169752 js/fsmonitor-unflake later to maint).
+
+ * Update to Unicode 12.1 width table.
+ (merge 5817f9caa3 bb/unicode-12.1-reiwa later to maint).
+
+ * The command line to invoke a "git cat-file" command from inside
+ "git p4" was not properly quoted to protect a caret and running a
+ broken command on Windows, which has been corrected.
+ (merge c3f2358de3 mm/p4-unshelve-windows-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git request-pull" learned to warn when the ref we ask them to pull
+ from in the local repository and in the published repository are
+ different.
+ (merge 0454220d66 pb/request-pull-verify-remote-ref later to maint).
+
+ * When creating a partial clone, the object filtering criteria is
+ recorded for the origin of the clone, but this incorrectly used a
+ hardcoded name "origin" to name that remote; it has been corrected
+ to honor the "--origin <name>" option.
+ (merge 1c4a9f9114 xl/record-partial-clone-origin later to maint).
+
+ * "git fetch" into a lazy clone forgot to fetch base objects that are
+ necessary to complete delta in a thin packfile, which has been
+ corrected.
+ (merge 810e19322d jt/partial-clone-missing-ref-delta-base later to maint).
+
+ * The filter_data used in the list-objects-filter (which manages a
+ lazily sparse clone repository) did not use the dynamic array API
+ correctly---'nr' is supposed to point at one past the last element
+ of the array in use. This has been corrected.
+ (merge 7140600e2e md/list-objects-filter-memfix later to maint).
+
+ * The description about slashes in gitignore patterns (used to
+ indicate things like "anchored to this level only" and "only
+ matches directories") has been revamped.
+ (merge 1a58bad014 an/ignore-doc-update later to maint).
+
+ * The URL decoding code has been updated to avoid going past the end
+ of the string while parsing %-<hex>-<hex> sequence.
+ (merge d37dc239a4 md/url-parse-harden later to maint).
+
+ * The list of for-each like macros used by clang-format has been
+ updated.
+ (merge fc7e03aace mo/clang-format-for-each-update later to maint).
+
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
