releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
+ * "add -e" learned not to show a diff for an otherwise unmodified
+ submodule that only has uncommitted local changes in the patch
+ prepared by for the user to edit.
+ (merge 701825d js/add-e-submodule-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "rebase" and "commit --amend" failed to work on commits with ancient
+ timestamps near year 1970.
+ (merge 2c733fb jc/parse-date-raw later to maint).
+
+ * "git merge --ff-only $tag" failed because it cannot record the
+ required mergetag without creating a merge, but this is so common
+ operation for branch that is used _only_ to follow the upstream, so
+ it is allowed to fast-forward without recording the mergetag.
+ (merge b5c9f1c jc/merge-ff-only-stronger-than-signed-merge later to maint).
+
+ * Typo in "git branch --edit-description my-tpoic" was not diagnosed.
+ (merge c2d17ba jc/branch-desc-typoavoidance later to maint).
+
+ * rpmbuild noticed an unpackaged but installed *.mo file and failed.
+ (merge 3a9f58c jn/rpm-spec later to maint).
