* The code to implement "git merge-base --independent" was poorly
done and was kept from the very beginning of the feature.
+ * Preliminary changes to fsmonitor integration.
+
+ * Performance improvements for rename detection.
+
+ * The common code to deal with "chunked file format" that is shared
+ by the multi-pack-index and commit-graph files have been factored
+ out, to help codepaths for both filetypes to become more robust.
+
+ * The approach to "fsck" the incoming objects in "index-pack" is
+ attractive for performance reasons (we have them already in core,
+ inflated and ready to be inspected), but fundamentally cannot be
+ applied fully when we receive more than one pack stream, as a tree
+ object in one pack may refer to a blob object in another pack as
+ ".gitmodules", when we want to inspect blobs that are used as
+ ".gitmodules" file, for example. Teach "index-pack" to emit
+ objects that must be inspected later and check them in the calling
+ "fetch-pack" process.
+
+ * The logic to handle "trailer" related placeholders in the
+ "--format=" mechanisms in the "log" family and "for-each-ref"
+ family is getting unified.
+
+ * Raise the buffer size used when writing the index file out from
+ (obviously too small) 8kB to (clearly sufficiently large) 128kB.
+
+ * It is reported that open() on some platforms (e.g. macOS Big Sur)
+ can return EINTR even though our timers are set up with SA_RESTART.
+ A workaround has been implemented and enabled for macOS to rerun
+ open() transparently from the caller when this happens.
