* A new tag.gpgSign configuration variable turns "git tag -a" into
"git tag -s".
+ * "git multi-pack-index" learned expire and repack subcommands.
+
+ * "git blame" learned to "ignore" commits in the history, whose
+ effects (as well as their presence) get ignored.
+
+ * "git cherry-pick/revert" learned a new "--skip" action.
+
+ * The tips of refs from the alternate object store can be used as
+ starting point for reachability computation now.
+
+ * Extra blank lines in "git status" output have been reduced.
+
+ * The commits in a repository can be described by multiple
+ commit-graph files now, which allows the commit-graph files to be
+ updated incrementally.
+
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* A handful of Windows build patches have been upstreamed.
+ * The code to read state files used by the sequencer machinery for
+ "git status" has been made more robust against a corrupt or stale
+ state files.
+
+ * "git for-each-ref" with multiple patterns have been optimized.
+
+ * The tree-walk API learned to pass an in-core repository
+ instance throughout more codepaths.
+
+ * When one step in multi step cherry-pick or revert is reset or
+ committed, the command line prompt script failed to notice the
+ current status, which has been improved.
