* A few descriptions in "git show-ref -h" have been clarified.

+ * The code paths to compact multiple reftable files have been updated

+
+ * Support to specify ref backend for submodules has been enhanced.
+
+ * "git svn" has been taught about svn:global-ignores property

* The reviewing guidelines document now explicitly encourages people
to give positive reviews and how.
+ * Test script linter has been updated to catch an attempt to use
+ one-shot export construct "VAR=VAL func" for shell functions (which
+ does not work for some shells) better.
+
+ * Some project conventions have been added to CodingGuidelines.
+
+ * In the refs subsystem, implicit reliance of the_repository has been
+ eliminated; the repository associated with the ref store object is

+
+ * Various tests in reftable library have been rewritten using the unit test
+ framework.
+
+ * A test that fails on an unusually slow machine was found, and made
+ less likely to cause trouble by lengthening the expiry value it
+ uses.
+
+ * An existing test of hashmap API has been rewritten with the
+ unit-test framework.
+
+ * A policy document that describes platform support levels and
+ expectation on platform stakeholders has been introduced.
+
+ * The refs API has been taught to give symref target information to
+ the users of ref iterators, allowing for-each-ref and friends to
+ avoid an extra ref_resolve_* API call per a symbolic ref.
+
+ * Unit-test framework has learned a simple control structure to allow
+ embedding test statements in-line instead of having to create a new
+ function to contain them.

failed to parse the patch that represents an unmodified empty line
with an empty line (not a line with a single space on it), which
has been corrected.
- (merge 60cf761ed1 pw/add-patch-with-suppress-blank-empty later to maint).
* "git checkout --ours" (no other arguments) complained that the
option is incompatible with branch switching, which is technically
correct, but found confusing by some users. It now says that the
user needs to give pathspec to specify what paths to checkout.
- (merge d1e6c61272 jc/checkout-no-op-switch-errors later to maint).
* It has been documented that we avoid "VAR=VAL shell_func" and why.
- (merge 728a1962cd jc/doc-one-shot-export-with-shell-func later to maint).
* "git rebase --help" referred to "offset" (the difference between
the location a change was taken from and the change gets replaced)
incorrectly and called it "fuzz", which has been corrected.
- (merge 70058db385 jc/doc-rebase-fuzz-vs-offset-fix later to maint).

+ * "git notes add -m '' --allow-empty" and friends that take prepared
+ data to create notes should not invoke an editor, but it started
+ doing so since Git 2.42, which has been corrected.
+
+ * An expensive operation to prepare tracing was done in re-encoding
+ code path even when the tracing was not requested, which has been
+ corrected.
+
+ * More leakfixes.

+ * A recent update broke "git ls-remote" used outside a repository,
+ which has been corrected.
+ (merge 9e89dcb66a ps/ls-remote-out-of-repo-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The patch parser in 'git apply' has been a bit more lenient against
+ unexpected mode bits, like 100664, recorded on extended header lines.
+ (merge e95d515141 jk/apply-patch-mode-check-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git config --value=foo --fixed-value section.key newvalue" barfed

+ valueless true syntax, which has been corrected.
+ (merge 615d2de3b4 tb/config-fixed-value-with-valueless-true later to maint).
+
+ * The patch parser in "git patch-id" has been tightened to avoid
+ getting confused by lines that look like a patch header in the log
+ message.
+ (merge a6e9429f72 jc/patch-id later to maint).
