+ * "git init" tried to record core.worktree in the repository's
+ 'config' file when GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable was set and
+ it was different from where GIT_DIR appears as ".git" at its top,
+ but the logic was faulty when .git is a "gitdir:" file that points
+ at the real place, causing trouble in working trees that are
+ managed by "git worktree". This has been corrected.
+
+ * Codepaths that read from an on-disk loose object were too loose in
+ validating what they are reading is a proper object file and
+ sometimes read past the data they read from the disk, which has
+ been corrected. H/t to Gustavo Grieco for reporting.
+ (merge d21f842690 jc/verify-loose-object-header later to maint).
+
+ * The original command line syntax for "git merge", which was "git
+ merge <msg> HEAD <parent>...", has been deprecated for quite some
+ time, and "git gui" was the last in-tree user of the syntax. This
+ is finally fixed, so that we can move forward with the deprecation.

+
+ * An author name, that spelled a backslash-quoted double quote in the
+ human readable part "My \"double quoted\" name", was not unquoted
+ correctly while applying a patch from a piece of e-mail.

+ * Doc update to clarify what "log -3 --reverse" does.
