    correctly honor the core.sharedRepository settings and some were

+ * In error messages that "git switch" mentions its option to create a
+   new branch, "-b/-B" options were shown, where "-c/-C" options
+   should be, which has been corrected.
+   (merge 7c16ef7577 dl/switch-c-option-in-error-message later to maint).
+
+ * With the recent tightening of the code that is used to parse
+   various parts of a URL for use in the credential subsystem, a
+   hand-edited credential-store file causes the credential helper to
+   die, which is a bit too harsh to the users.  Demote the error
+   behaviour to just ignore and keep using well-formed lines instead.
+   (merge c03859a665 cb/credential-store-ignore-bogus-lines later to maint).
+
+ * The samples in the credential documentation has been updated to
+   make it clear that we depict what would appear in the .git/config
+   file, by adding appropriate quotes as needed..
+   (merge 177681a07e jk/credential-sample-update later to maint).
+
+ * "git branch" and other "for-each-ref" variants accepted multiple
+   --sort=<key> options in the increasing order of precedence, but it
+   had a few breakages around "--ignore-case" handling, and tie-breaking
+   with the refname, which have been fixed.
+   (merge 7c5045fc18 jk/for-each-ref-multi-key-sort-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The coding guideline for shell scripts instructed to refer to a
+   variable with dollar-sign inside arithmetic expansion to work
+   around a bug in old versions of dash, which is a thing of the past.
+   Now we are not forbidden from writing $((var+1)).
+   (merge 32b5fe7f0e jk/arith-expansion-coding-guidelines later to maint).
+
+ * The <stdlib.h> header on NetBSD brings in its own definition of
+   hmac() function (eek), which conflicts with our own and unrelated
+   function with the same name.  Our function has been renamed to work
+   around the issue.
+   (merge 3013118eb8 cb/avoid-colliding-with-netbsd-hmac later to maint).

+ * The basic test did not honor $TEST_SHELL_PATH setting, which has
+   been corrected.
+   (merge 0555e4af58 cb/t0000-use-the-configured-shell later to maint).
+
+ * Minor in-code comments and documentation updates around credential
+   API.
+   (merge 1aed817f99 cb/credential-doc-fixes later to maint).
+
+ * Teach "am", "commit", "merge" and "rebase", when they are run with
+   the "--quiet" option, to pass "--quiet" down to "gc --auto".
+   (merge 7c3e9e8cfb jc/auto-gc-quiet later to maint).
+
+ * The code to skip unmerged paths in the index when sparse checkout
+   is in use would have made out-of-bound access of the in-core index
+   when the last path was unmerged, which has been corrected.
+
+ * Serving a "git fetch" client over "git://" and "ssh://" protocols
+   using the on-wire protocol version 2 was buggy on the server end
+   when the client needs to make a follow-up request to
+   e.g. auto-follow tags.

+ * "git bisect replay" had trouble with input files when they used
+   CRLF line ending, which has been corrected.
+   (merge 6c722cbe5a cw/bisect-replay-with-dos later to maint).
+
+ * "rebase -i" segfaulted when rearranging a sequence that has a
+   fix-up that applies another fix-up (which may or may not be a
+   fix-up of yet another step).
+   (merge 02471e7e20 js/rebase-autosquash-double-fixup-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git fsck" ensures that the paths recorded in tree objects are
+   sorted and without duplicates, but it failed to notice a case where
+   a blob is followed by entries that sort before a tree with the same
+   name.  This has been corrected.

+
+ * Code clean-up by removing a compatibility implementation of a
+   function we no longer use.

+
+ * When a binary file gets modified and renamed on both sides of history
+   to different locations, both files would be written to the working
+   tree but both would have the contents from "ours".  This has been
+   corrected so that the path from each side gets their original content.
