  10  * The "--rfc" option of "git format-patch" learned to take an
  11    optional string value to be used in place of "RFC" to tweak the
  12    "[PATCH]" on the subject header.
  13    (merge ce36894509 jc/format-patch-rfc-more later to maint).

  16 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
  17
  18  * Advertise "git contacts", a tool for newcomers to find people to
  19    ask review for their patches, a bit more in our developer
  20    documentation.
  21
  22  * In addition to building the objects needed, try to link the objects
  23    that are used in fuzzer tests, to make sure at least they build
  24    without bitrot, in Linux CI runs.

  27 Fixes since v2.45
  28 -----------------
  29
  30  * "git rebase --signoff" used to forget that it needs to add a
  31    sign-off to the resulting commit when told to continue after a
  32    conflict stops its operation.
  33    (merge a6c2654f83 pw/rebase-m-signoff-fix later to maint).
  34
  35  * The procedure to build multi-pack-index got confused by the
  36    replace-refs mechanism, which has been corrected by disabling the
  37    latter.
  38    (merge 93e2ae1c95 xx/disable-replace-when-building-midx later to maint).
  39
  40  * The "-k" and "--rfc" options of "format-patch" will now error out
  41    when used together, as one tells us not to add anything to the
  42    title of the commit, and the other one tells us to add "RFC" in
  43    addition to "PATCH".
  44    (merge cadcf58085 ds/format-patch-rfc-and-k later to maint).
  45
  46  * "git stash -S" did not handle binary files correctly, which has
  47    been corrected.
  48    (merge 5fb7686409 aj/stash-staged-fix later to maint).
  49
  50  * A scheduled "git maintenance" job is expected to work on all
  51    repositories it knows about, but it stopped at the first one that
  52    errored out.  Now it keeps going.
  53    (merge c75662bfc9 js/for-each-repo-keep-going later to maint).
  54
  55  * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
