* "git grep -m<max-hits>" is a way to limit the hits shown per file.
+ * "git merge-tree" learned a new mode where it takes two commits and
+ computes a tree that would result in the merge commit, if the
+ histories leading to these two commits were to be merged.
+
+ * "git mv A B" in a sparsely populated working tree can be asked to
+ move a path between directories that are "in cone" (i.e. expected
+ to be materialized in the working tree) and "out of cone"
+ (i.e. expected to be hidden). The handling of such cases has been
+ improved.

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Collection of what is referenced by objects in promisor packs have
been optimized to inspect these objects in the in-pack order.
- (merge 18c08abc82 jk/optim-promisor-object-enumeration later to maint).
* Introduce a helper to see if a branch is already being worked on
(hence should not be newly checked out in a working tree), which
* Teach "git archive" to (optionally and then by default) avoid
spawning an external "gzip" process when creating ".tar.gz" (and
".tgz") archives.
- (merge 4f4be00d30 rs/archive-with-internal-gzip later to maint).
+
+ * Allow large objects read from a packstream to be streamed into a
+ loose object file straight, without having to keep it in-core as a
+ whole.
+
+ * Further preparation to turn git-submodule.sh into a builtin
+ continues.
Fixes since v2.37
documentation mark-up have been corrected.
(merge 54e51e559e ds/git-rebase-doc-markup later to maint).
+ * In a non-bare repository, the behavior of Git when the
+ core.worktree configuration variable points at a directory that has
+ a repository as its subdirectory, regressed in Git 2.27 days.
+ (merge d6c9a71755 gg/worktree-from-the-above later to maint).

* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
