 Note to those who build from the source

+ * Since Git 2.31, our source assumed that the compiler you use to
+   build Git supports variadic macros, with an easy-to-use escape
+   hatch to allow compilation without variadic macros with an request
+   to report that you had to use the escape hatch to the list.
+   Because we haven't heard from anybody who actually needed to use
+   the escape hatch, it has been removed, making support of variadic
+   macros a hard requirement.
