* "git rebase --rebase-merges" now uses branch names as labels when
able.
+ * Describe the policy to introduce breaking changes.
+
+ * Teach 'git notes add' and 'git notes append' a new '-e' flag,
+ instructing them to open the note in $GIT_EDITOR before saving.

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------
* The ref-filter machinery learns to recognize and avoid cases where
sorting would be redundant.
+ * Various platform compatibility fixes split out of the larger effort
+ to use Meson as the primary build tool.
+
+ * Treat ECONNABORTED the same as ECONNRESET in 'git credential-cache'
+ to work around a possible Cygwin regression. This resolves a race
+ condition caused by changes in Cygwin's handling of socket
+ closures, allowing the client to exit cleanly when encountering
+ ECONNABORTED.
+
+ * Demonstrate an assertion failure in 'git mv'.
+
+ * Documentation update to clarify that 'uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant'
+ implies both 'allowTipSHA1InWant' and 'allowReachableSHA1InWant'.
+
+ * Replace various calls to atoi() with strtol_i() and strtoul_ui(),
+ and add improved error handling.
+
+ * Documentation updates to 'git-update-ref(1)'.

(merge b33001645e wm/shortlog-hash later to maint).
+ * Fix 'git grep' regression on macOS by disabling lookahead when
+ encountering invalid UTF-8 byte sequences.
+ (merge ce025ae4f6 rs/grep-lookahead later to maint).
+
+ * The dumb-http code regressed when the result of re-indexing a pack
+ yielded an *.idx file that differs in content from the *.idx file
+ it downloaded from the remote. This has been corrected by no longer
+ relying on: the *.idx file we got from the remote.
