that checking for the lack of a prerequisite would not work. Avoid
the use of "if ! test_have_prereq X" in a test script.

+ * Use upload-artifacts v1 (instead of v2) for 32-bit linux, as the

+ (merge 3cf9bb36bf cb/ci-use-upload-artifacts-v1 later to maint).
+
+ * Checking out all the paths from HEAD during the last conflicted
+ step in "git rebase" and continuing would cause the step to be
+ skipped (which is expected), but leaves MERGE_MSG file behind in
+ $GIT_DIR and confuses the next "git commit", which has been
+ corrected.
+ (merge e5ee33e855 pw/rebase-skip-final-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Various bugs in "git rebase -r" have been fixed.
+ (merge f2563c9ef3 pw/rebase-r-fixes later to maint).
+
+ * mmap() imitation used to call xmalloc() that dies upon malloc()
+ failure, which has been corrected to just return an error to the
+ caller to be handled.

+ * The delayed checkout code path in "git checkout" etc. were chatty
+ even when --quiet and/or --no-progress options were given.
+ (merge 7a132c628e mt/quiet-with-delayed-checkout later to maint).
+
+ * "git branch -D <branch>" used to refuse to remove a broken branch
+ ref that points at a missing commit, which has been corrected.
+ (merge 597a977489 rs/branch-allow-deleting-dangling later to maint).
+
+ * Build update for Apple clang.
+ (merge f32c5d3716 cb/makefile-apple-clang later to maint).
+

+ * Buggy tests could damage repositories outside the throw-away test
