+ * The logic to determine the archive type "git archive" uses did not
+ correctly kick in for "git archive --remote", which has been
+ corrected.
+
+ * "git repack" in a shallow clone did not correctly update the
+ shallow points in the repository, leading to a repository that
+ does not pass fsck.
+ (merge 5dcfbf564c js/shallow-and-fetch-prune later to maint).
+
+ * Some codepaths failed to form a proper URL when .gitmodules record
+ the URL to a submodule repository as relative to the repository of
+ superproject, which has been corrected.
+ (merge e0a862fdaf sb/submodule-url-to-absolute later to maint).
+
+ * "git fetch" over protocol v2 into a shallow repository failed to
+ fetch full history behind a new tip of history that was diverged
+ before the cut-off point of the history that was previously fetched
+ shallowly.
+
+ * The command line completion machinery (in contrib/) has been
+ updated to allow the completion script to tweak the list of options
+ that are reported by the parse-options machinery correctly.
+ (merge 276b49ff34 nd/completion-negation later to maint).
+
+ * Operations on promisor objects make sense in the context of only a
+ small subset of the commands that internally use the revisions
+ machinery, but the "--exclude-promisor-objects" option were taken
+ and led to nonsense results by commands like "log", to which it
+ didn't make much sense. This has been corrected.

+
+ * The "container" mode of TravisCI is going away. Our .travis.yml
+ file is getting prepared for the transition.
+ (merge 32ee384be8 ss/travis-ci-force-vm-mode later to maint).
+
+ * Our test scripts can now take the '-V' option as a synonym for the
+ '--verbose-log' option.
