* The knobs to tweak how reftable files are written have been made
available as configuration variables.
+ * When "git push" notices that the commit at the tip of the ref on
+ the other side it is about to overwrite does not exist locally, it
+ used to first try fetching it if the local repository is a partial

* Git-GUI has a new maintainer, Johannes Sixt.

* The "test-tool" has been taught to run testsuite tests in parallel,
bypassing the need to use the "prove" tool.
* Tests that try to corrupt in-repository files in chunked format did
not work well on macOS due to its broken "mv", which has been
worked around.

* The maximum size of attribute files is enforced more consistently.

* Unbreak CI jobs so that we do not attempt to use Python 2 that has
been removed from the platform.
- (merge 5ca0c455f1 ps/ci-python-2-deprecation later to maint).
* Git 2.43 started using the tree of HEAD as the source of attributes
in a bare repository, which has severe performance implications.
For now, revert the change, without ripping out a more explicit
support for the attr.tree configuration variable.

* The "--exit-code" option of "git diff" command learned to work with
the "--ext-diff" option.
* Windows CI running in GitHub Actions started complaining about the
order of arguments given to calloc(); the imported regex code uses
the wrong order almost consistently, which has been corrected.
