+ * Platforms that ship with a separate sha1 with collision detection
+   library can link to it instead of using the copy we ship as part of
+   our source tree.
+
+ * Code around "notes" have been cleaned up.
+   (merge 3964281524 mh/notes-cleanup later to maint).
+
+ * The long-standing rule that an in-core lockfile instance, once it
+   is used, must not be freed, has been lifted and the lockfile and
+   tempfile APIs have been updated to reduce the chance of programming
+   errors.
+
+ * Our hashmap implementation in hashmap.[ch] is not thread-safe when
+   adding a new item needs to expand the hashtable by rehashing; add
+   an API to disable the automatic rehashing to work it around.
+
+ * Many of our programs consider that it is OK to release dynamic
+   storage that is used throughout the life of the program by simply
+   exiting, but this makes it harder to leak detection tools to avoid
+   reporting false positives.  Plug many existing leaks and introduce
+   a mechanism for developers to mark that the region of memory
+   pointed by a pointer is not lost/leaking to help these tools.
+
+ * As "git commit" to conclude a conflicted "git merge" honors the
+   commit-msg hook, "git merge" that records a merge commit that
+   cleanly auto-merges should, but it didn't.
+
+ * The codepath for "git merge-recursive" has been cleaned up.
+
+ * Many leaks of strbuf have been fixed.
