* The debugging infrastructure for pkt-line based communication has
been improved to mark the side-band communication specifically.

ref-filter API that is shared with "git tag" and "git
* A build without NO_IPv6 used to use gethostbyname() when guessing

+ * The helper used to iterate over loose object directories to prune
+ stale objects did not closedir() immediately when it is done with a
+ directory--a callback such as the one used for "git prune" may want

+ such as WinXP.
+
+ * "git p4" used to import Perforce CLs that touch only paths outside
+ the client spec as empty commits. It has been corrected to ignore
+ them instead, with a new configuration git-p4.keepEmptyCommits as a
+ backward compatibility knob.
* Code clean-up, minor fixes etc.
