* "git pack-refs" learns "--include" and "--exclude" to tweak the ref
hierarchy to be packed using pattern matching.
+ * 'git worktree add' learned how to create a worktree based on an
+ orphaned branch with `--orphan`.
+
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Clang's sanitizer implementation seems to work better than GCC's.
(merge d88d727143 jk/ci-use-clang-for-sanitizer-jobs later to maint).
+ * The object traversal using reachability bitmap done by
+ "pack-object" has been tweaked to take advantage of the fact that
+ using "boundary" commits as representative of all the uninteresting
+ ones can save quite a lot of object enumeration.
+
