+ * "git submodule" learned a subcommand "set-url".

+   messages.
+
+ * The interaction between "git clone --recurse-submodules" and
+   alternate object store was ill-designed.  The documentation and
+   code have been taught to make more clear recommendations when the
+   users see failures.
+
+ * Management of sparsely checked-out working tree has gained a

+
+ * Miscellaneous small UX improvements on "git-p4".
+
+ * "git sparse-checkout list" subcommand learned to give its output in

+ * In a repository with many packfiles, the cost of the procedure that
