+ * The content-transfer-encoding of the message "git send-email" sends
+   out by default was 8bit, which can cause trouble when there is an

+   in the payload has been introduced and is made the default.

+ * "fsck.skipList" did not prevent a blob object listed there from

+   inspect the contents of ".gitmodules" for certain malicious
+   patterns), which has been corrected.
+   (merge fb16287719 rj/submodule-fsck-skip later to maint).
+
+ * "git checkout --recurse-submodules another-branch" did not report
+   in which submodule it failed to update the working tree, which
+   resulted in an unhelpful error message.
+   (merge ba95d4e4bd sb/submodule-move-head-error-msg later to maint).
+
+ * "git rebase" behaved slightly differently depending on which one of
+   the three backends gets used; this has been documented and an
+   effort to make them more uniform has begun.
+   (merge b00bf1c9a8 en/rebase-consistency later to maint).

+   (merge cf1e7c0770 jt/connectivity-check-after-unshallow later to maint).
+
+ * Partial clone support of "git clone" has been updated to correctly
+   validate the objects it receives from the other side.  The server
+   side has been corrected to send objects that are directly
+   requested, even if they may match the filtering criteria (e.g. when

+   (merge c5e358d073 jk/empty-pick-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git reset --merge" (hence "git merge ---abort") and "git reset --hard"
+   had trouble working correctly in a sparsely checked out working
+   tree after a conflict, which has been corrected.
