+ * "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.

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

+ * 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

+ * The internals of the refs API around the cached refs has been
+ streamlined.
+
+ * Output from perf tests have been updated to align their titles.
