+
+ * Handling of commit objects that use non UTF-8 encoding during

+
+ * The beginning of rewriting "git add -i" in C.
+
+ * A label used in the todo list that are generated by "git rebase
+ --rebase-merges" is used as a part of a refname; the logic to come
+ up with the label has been tightened to avoid names that cannot be
+ used as such.
+
+ * The logic to avoid duplicate label names generated by "git rebase
+ --rebase-merges" forgot that the machinery itself uses "onto" as a
+ label name, which must be avoided by auto-generated labels, which
+ has been corrected.
+
+ * We have had compatibility fallback macro definitions for "PRIuMAX",
+ "PRIu32", etc. but did not for "PRIdMAX", while the code used the
+ last one apparently without any hiccup reported recently. The
+ fallback macro definitions for these <inttypes.h> macros that must
+ appear in C99 systems have been removed.
+
+ * Recently we have declared that GIT_TEST_* variables take the
+ usual boolean values (it used to be that some used "non-empty
+ means true" and taking GIT_TEST_VAR=YesPlease as true); make
+ sure we notice and fail when non-bool strings are given to
+ these variables.
+
+ * Users of oneway_merge() (like "reset --hard") learned to take
+ advantage of fsmonitor to avoid unnecessary lstat(2) calls.

+
+ * Recent update to "git stash pop" made the command empty the index
+ when run with the "--quiet" option, which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git fetch" codepath had a big "do not lazily fetch missing objects
