* A new subcommand "git repo" gives users a way to grab various

instead of `gitgitgadget/git`.
(merge 37001cdbc4 ds/doc-ggg-pr-fork-clarify later to maint).
+ * Makefile tried to run multiple "cargo build" which would not work
+ very well; serialize their execution to work it around.
+ (merge 0eeacde50e da/cargo-serialize later to maint).
+
+ * "git repack --path-walk" lost objects in some corner cases, which
+ has been corrected.
+ (merge 93afe9b060 ds/path-walk-repack-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git ls-files <pathspec>..." should not necessarily have to expand
+ the index fully if a sparsified directory is excluded by the
+ pathspec; the code is taught to expand the index on demand to avoid
+ this.

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