+
+ * Doc cleanup around "worktree".

+
+ * The logic to find the ref transaction hook script attempted to
+   cache the path to the found hook without realizing that it needed

+   buffer space.  This has been corrected.
+   (merge 09b2aa30c9 ps/ref-transaction-hook later to maint).

+ * Recent versions of "git diff-files" shows a diff between the index
