allow the "partialCloneFilter" settings and the "token" value to be
communicated from the server side.
+ * Declare that "git init" that is not otherwise configured uses
+ 'main' as the initial branch, not 'master', starting Git 3.0.
+
+ * Keep giving hint about the default initial branch name for users
+ who may be surprised after Git 3.0 switch-over.
+
+ * The stash.index configuration variable can be set to make "git stash
+ pop/apply" pretend that it was invoked with "--index".
+
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------
* "git range-diff" learned a way to limit the memory consumed by
O(N*N) cost matrix.
+ * Some places in the code confused a variable that is *not* a boolean
+ to enable color but is an enum that records what the user requested
+ to do about color. A couple of bugs of this sort have been fixed,
+ while the code has been cleaned up to prevent similar bugs in the
+ future.
+
Fixes since v2.51
-----------------
* "git subtree" (in contrib/) did not work correctly when splitting
squashed subtrees, which has been improved.
+ * Import a newer version of the clar unit testing framework.
+ (merge 93dbb6b3c5 ps/clar-updates later to maint).
+
+ * "git send-email --compose --reply-to=<address>" used to add
+ duplicated Reply-To: header, which made mailservers unhappy. This
+ has been corrected.
+ (merge f448f65719 nb/send-email-no-dup-reply-to later to maint).
+
+ * "git rebase -i" failed to clean-up the commit log message when the
+ command commits the final one in a chain of "fixup" commands, which
+ has been corrected.
+ (merge 82a0a73e15 pw/rebase-i-cleanup-fix later to maint).
+
+ * There are double frees and leaks around setup_revisions() API used
+ in "git stash show", which has been fixed, and setup_revisions()
+ API gained a wrapper to make it more ergonomic when using it with
+ strvec-manged argc/argv pairs.
+ (merge a04bc71725 jk/setup-revisions-freefix later to maint).
+
+ * Deal more gracefully with directory / file conflicts when the files
+ backend is used for ref storage, by failing only the ones that are
+ involved in the conflict while allowing others.
+ (merge 948b2ab0d8 kn/refs-files-case-insensitive later to maint).
+
+ * "git last-modified" operating in non-recursive mode used to trigger
+ a BUG(), which has been corrected.
+
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
