* The end result of documentation update has been made to be
inspected more easily to help developers.
+ * The API to iterate over all objects learned to optionally list
+ objects in the order they appear in packfiles, which helps locality
+ of access if the caller accesses these objects while as objects are
+ enumerated.
+
+ * Improve built-in facility to catch broken &&-chain in the tests.
+
+ * The more library-ish parts of the codebase learned to work on the
+ in-core index-state instance that is passed in by their callers,
+ instead of always working on the singleton "the_index" instance.
+
+ * A test prerequisite defined by various test scripts with slightly
+ different semantics has been consolidated into a single copy and
+ made into a lazily defined one.

+ * After a partial clone, repeated fetches from promisor remote would
+ have accumulated many packfiles marked with .promisor bit without
+ getting them coalesced into fewer packfiles, hurting performance.
+ "git repack" now learned to repack them.

* "git diff --indent-heuristic" had a bad corner case performance.
(merge 301ef85401 sb/indent-heuristic-optim later to maint).
+ * The "--exec" option to "git rebase --rebase-merges" placed the exec
+ commands at wrong places, which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git verify-tag" and "git verify-commit" have been taught to use
+ the exit status of underlying "gpg --verify" to signal bad or
+ untrusted signature they found.
+ (merge 4e5dc9ca17 jc/gpg-status later to maint).
+
+ * "git mergetool" stopped and gave an extra prompt to continue after
+ the last path has been handled, which did not make much sense.
+ (merge d651a54b8a ng/mergetool-lose-final-prompt later to maint).
+
+ * Among the three codepaths we use O_APPEND to open a file for
+ appending, one used for writing GIT_TRACE output requires O_APPEND
+ implementation that behaves sensibly when multiple processes are
+ writing to the same file. POSIX emulation used in the Windows port
+ has been updated to improve in this area.
+ (merge d641097589 js/mingw-o-append later to maint).

+ * "git pull --rebase -v" in a repository with a submodule barfed as
+ an intermediate process did not understand what "-v(erbose)" flag
+ meant, which has been fixed.

+ * Recent update to "git config" broke updating variable in a

+ (merge bff7df7a87 sb/config-write-fix later to maint).
+
+ * When "git rebase -i" is told to squash two or more commits into
+ one, it labeled the log message for each commit with its number.
+ It correctly called the first one "1st commit", but the next one
+ was "commit #1", which was off-by-one. This has been corrected.
+ (merge dd2e36ebac pw/rebase-i-squash-number-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git rebase -i", when a 'merge <branch>' insn in its todo list
+ fails, segfaulted, which has been (minimally) corrected.
+ (merge bc9238bb09 pw/rebase-i-merge-segv-fix later to maint).
